I recommend the non-invasive method recommended by Daniel: just set
the property using svn propset --revprop -r svn:author NEWAUTHOR.

However, for anyone reading the archives wanting to modify a
dumpfile: don't edit it with sed; edit it with a program that knows
the intricacies of the dump format, such as svndumptool.
