If the revisions subsequent to the one in question don't have any
dependencies on the one that added the .svn dirs that should work.
Alternatively you can use svndumpfilter to get rid of the dirs in

Out of curiosity, how did the .svn dirs get committed? The client is
supposed to prevent you from doing that, IIRC.
