svnadmin dump includes the *full text* (not just the changes) of each
revision by default. This means a lot of duplicated information. To
prevent this use the --deltas option:

svnadmin dump REPOS_PATH --deltas

(The default dump format is independent of any details of the svn's
delta format, so it should be portable across svn versions even if
that changed.)
