Dump/filter/load doesn't renumber revisions by default. It only
renumbers if you use --renumber-revs, so with proper policies for
filtering your repository to remove data you should be safe using
revision numbers as a static identifier. As to some low-level id
other than revision numbers, I am not aware of any. If they exist, I
doubt they are exposed through the API, and if they're not exposed
then they're not necessarily going to be safe across SVN version
upgrades (especially major revision upgrades that involve schema
changes).
