Svndumpfilter option

I am a bit confused by the use --drop-empty-revs and --renumber-revs. In my view, --renumber-revs is useless.

Let's suppose that I have 3 directories in my repository: A committed in revision 1, B in revision 2 and C in revision 3

If I run

svndumpfilter exclude B < dumpfile

I expect revision 2 to be empty, but still there.

If I run

svndumpfilter exclude B --drop-empty-revs < dumpfile

I expect revision 2 to not be there at all, and therefore revision 3 becomes revision 2. I don't see the use of --renumber-revs.

Am I missing something?
