Yeah, there isn't a command for that. Subversion assumes the
repository will not suddenly go back in time. You must ensure it does
not, or face the inconvenient task you're now faced with.

You should advise your admins to improve their backup strategy. For
example, write a post-commit hook that uses svnadmin dump to dump the
just-committed revision and then upload it to a backup server. Or use
svnsync to set up a complete backup repository on another server.
