The svn_load_dirs.pl tool might be a good starting point to catch
the file additions/moves between revs. You could pick up the
author and log info but I'm not sure how you'd follow branches
and tags to keep the ancestry. A tool that would parse the
svnadmin dump format and process it through client-level access
would be nice too.
