Of course, that's the norm. 'svnadmin load' just replays every commit
in the dumpfile into a repository. So if you dump a repository, then
load into an newly created repository (i.e. one that starts out empty),
you end up with exactly the same revision numbers. If you load into a
pre-populated repository, then all the revision numbers will be
shifted.
