I wouldn't say that. It's completely fine to have multiple projects
in one repository, just as it's completely fine to put each project
in its own repository. There are advantages and disadvantages to each
method. Converting from one setup to the other is possible, but in
either direction this comes with significant trade-offs, which you
must either accept or decide to leave it the way it is.

I highly recommend you do *not* use sed to manipulate a Subversion
dumpfile. It is a binary file and there's a high probability you will
corrupt it by changing it using tools not designed to read Subversion
dumpfiles. There are several tools that are designed to read
Subversion dumpfiles, such as svndumpfilter, svndumptool,
svndumpfilter2, svndumpfilter3, which would be more reliable.
