I just ran a short experiment on a repository I just created. It seemed
to work. The actual repository is much more complex than the one I just
experimented on but at least I know it's possible.
Thanks,
Matt

Would doing a dump, modifying the dump via svndumpfilter, and re-loading
fix the problem?
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.reposadmin.maint.html#svn.rep
osadmin.maint.tk.svndumpfilter
"The great thing about the human-readability aspect of the dump format
is that, if you aren't careless about it, you can manually inspect and
modify it."
