In Subversion, dump/load preserves the UUID. Actually, in ClearCase
it does, too (e.g., for backup/recovery or architecture moves):
replication is "dump, futz, load" sort of a deal. SVN ain't got no
replication just yet. There's no plan for that per se, but I'm
betting it'll take SVN less than the 15 years it took
DSEE/ClearCase....
