That did just what I need, with one problem. Expanding my "before"
example:
/data/subversion/foo/devel/blinkled/trunk
/data/subversion/foo/devel/bufflog/trunk
/data/subversion/foo/devel/commom/trunk

and I wanted
/data/subversion/foo/devel/trunk/blinkled
/data/subversion/foo/devel/trunk/bufflog
/data/subversion/foo/devel/trunk/commom

Fortunately I still had the brainpower at 1:00am to remember the dump
files are plaintext. So I just edited the paths in the dump file to be
common/foo.c, bufflog/foo.c, and blinkled/foo.c. Then I used trunk for
the --parent-dir and it all worked out great.

Thanks to everyone.
