...which can be fixed using a tool like svndumptool. However, either
way, at least one of your repositories' revision will get renumbered,
which could be a problem if you've referred to revision numbers in
your commit messages, or in other tools like issue trackers.

Yes, now that Subversion has merge tracking, the mergeinfo is a new
wrinkle in the repository-combining scenario that probably is
problematic as well.

I don't know if svndumptool attempts to do anything to renumber
revision numbers in commit messages or mergeinfo properties. However,
the source is available, and the developer has in the past been quite
responsive to suggestions.
