dump/load uses svnadmin and does not invoke hook scripts.

But there’s no need to dump and load to correct revision properties of past revisions. Just install a pre-commit-hook script allowing modification of those properties, then run log-police.py with the --all-revs option, as the usage message shows:

USAGE: log-police.py [-t TXN_NAME | -r REV_NUM | --all-revs] REPOS

Ensure that log messages end with exactly one newline and no other
whitespace characters. Use as a pre-commit hook by passing '-t TXN_NAME';
fix up a single revision by passing '-r REV_NUM'; fix up all revisions by
passing '--all-revs'. (When used as a pre-commit hook, may modify the
svn:log property on the txn.)
