I'll look into the authz+svnsync/svnrdump option. Svndumpfilter doesn't
work for me because the 'svnadmin dump' operation fails when it tries to
process 192 (before I get a chance to use svndumpfilter to eliminate the
bogus file). As far as I can tell svndumpfilter operates on dumpfiles
that already exist, and can't actually stop svnadmin from trying to
resolve the bogus node-rev header during the dump process. The
authz+svnsync solution will hopefully allow me to effectively do that
filtering at an earlier stage in the pipeline.

Thank you very much for all your help,
