svndumpfilter3 (Was: Re: svndumpfilter: Invalid copy source path)

In case that's useful for other people:

I tried running Simon's svndumpfilter2, and it works on small tests,
but somehow I think I have a repository that is too large (130MB, 2800
revs). My computer runs out of memory. So I had a long look at it
and then rewrote it differently: svndumpfilter2 tracks past revisions
itself with an in-memory data structure, whereas my new script does
not to that but uses ``svnadmin dump`` to obtain the revs to insert.
Extracting missing files is slower than ``svnlook cat``, but there
aren't many of them, and on the whole, the whole process runs faster.
I just converted my repository with it, wrote some tests, it seems to
work okay.

I put the script here:

Along with other useful subversion tools:

cheers,
