I guess that, especially for the "dump" case, "dump-revprops" is (or should be)
much more efficient than a "dump" piped through "svndumpfilter". For "load",
the additional overhead will be smaller, but still there. So I think this
functionality should be implemented in svnadmin itself.
Note, however, that I wouldn't mind it being an "--only-revprops" option to
the existing "load" and "dump" subcommands instead of a new subcommand.
And I also don't oppose the idea of "svndumpfilter revprops-only", which
clearly has its own use cases. :-)
