There are currently a large number of projects in one repository. The
size is still manageable but approaching being awkward to back up and
manipulate. The point of splitting would be make the size for each
project reasonable - or perhaps to split out a project to be managed
by a group that should not have access to some of the other parts.
From the docs I would have expected giving a starting revision to
svnadmin dump to eliminate the history - and need for paths containing
it - before the specified point. Is that not the case?
