You could use 1.0.x to load the file. The dump format hasn't changed,
but the dump loader has become stricter when reading dumpfiles. 1.2.1
has been adapted not to generate a content-length header on directory
blocks which actually don't have a content block. Subversion 1.0.x
silently ignores these headers.

After loading with 1.0.x, you can easily start using any higher
version without dumping and loading.

bye,

Erik.
