When the project moves from "core" to it's own repository, you could start by
doing an svadmin dump of "core" and then use svndumpfilter to only include the
particular project and finally load this very reduced dump into the new
repository.

That way the project maintains its history and if you use --drop-
empty-revs and --renumber-revs with svndumpfilter then the version numbers in
the new repository shuld start by 1.
