That's for an entirely different reason.

The original post was about updating from BDB 4.x to 4.3, as they are
incompatible. You cannot even read an earlier BDB repository with SVN
1.2. There is no such problem with FSFS, which is why you didn't see any
error.

But you are right, dump/load _is_ required to upgrade the repository
content to 1.2 format to gain full benefit from the xdelta change. That
is a performance upgrade rather than a basic access update.
