We discussed this briefly. Using Ev2 for svnrdump exclusively would
imply committing with Ev2 via all RA layers (to implement the "svnrdump
load" command). Adding native Ev2 commit support to all RA layers for 1.8
is not a very realistic goal and might delay the 1.8.0 release. So Hyrum
suggested insertin the Ev2 shims for svnrdump over ra_svn and ra_serf
(apparently only ra_local will use Ev2 for commit in 1.8).
