Good start. But you don't have a first sentence before the bullets (which we
want for most non-small changes), and you aren't using the standard (function_name)
syntax. So, perhaps along these lines:
[[[
Add a unit test for svnrdump dumping r0.
* subversion/tests/cmdline/svnrdump_tests_data: Add a new directory to
keep test data for svnrdump.
* subversion/tests/cmdline/svnrdump_tests_data/asf-0.dump: Add a
dumpfile of the zeroth revision of the ASF repository.
* subversion/tests/cmdline/svnrdump_tests.py:
(build_repos, run_test): New helper functions. ("Factored out from XXX()", if applicable)
(asf_0): New test ("for XXX", if you like).
(test_list): Run the new test.
]]]

First of all, please don't verify a 100k dumpfile during every 'make check'.
It would take too long.
Second, is it really necessary to have all of these? I'd assume that all edge
cases you need to test can be fitted quite roomly in a 50-revision dumpfile.
(Specifically, I think that having a 10k and 100k tests is unnecessary given
that you have a 1k test; and that the 1k test in itself could be much reduced.
It's not the number of revisions that counts!)
