[svn 1.3.1] Revision Number changes on import via "svnadmin load"

Hi folks,

I'm using svn for quiet a while. Some days ago I had to do my first
"dump/load". I realised that my rev-nr. changed! So everybody has to do
a complete new checkout. Is this correct?

Maybee I schould explain what I want:
- Curr. rev. is 1337 (takes about 1gig)
- I have to reduce the repo-size. So I want to wipe out the 1000 first
revs.
- doing an dump/load from 1000-1337 gives me 337 revs in the new repo,
but starting with 1!
- so everybody get's aware of my changes. Thats not good. :-(

Is there a way to reduce the size, but keep the rev. number?
