I would normally agree, but in this case there is no such tool that I
know of. And sed is (in my opinion) more likely to not munge anything as
compared to doing a find/replace with a text editor. But I believe the
dumpfile hashes the content of files and props, and thus if sed
accidentally modifies any of those it will show up when loading. If
memory serves I tested this to confirm it, but I make no guarantees.

I still say both repositories must be given new UUIDs to indicate
that they are different repositories. Otherwise it would be possible
for a user to, say, take a working copy of projectB from the old
combined repository and "svn switch" it to some place within the new
projectA repository, since the new projectA repository has the same
UUID as the old combined repository. But that wouldn't make sense.

A subversion dump is a binary file, and editing it with sed is not a
good idea. You should use a tool that has been designed to edit
dumpfiles, like svndumpfilter or svndumptool.
