Yes.

It would involve adding yet more code that is dead most of the time, and
a feature whose only use case so far is ease of development.

We have other options:

1. Allow 'svnadmin create --shard-size=0'. (If you do that with
--compatible-version=1.7, you'd be able to reproduce.)

2. Have the tests use tarballs of created-by-1.7 FSes, just like the
'svn upgrade' tests do.
