As Stefan said, it would be nice if Subversion itself could fix that,
given that old released versions produced such (malformed) filesystems.

To my knowledge, currently there is no code in Subversion itself to do
this, hence my suggestion to use third-party tools.

I know there are a couple of dumpfile manipulator tools that are
regularly suggested around this list, but I don't have a specific
recomendation.

One of the other list members might be able to answer this question.
