If you run dump and you get a non-zero exit code, then the output should
be regarded as potentially corrupted. In the specific case of
ECONNABORTED, you can probably trust that the receiver received a prefix
of what the sender sent (TCP promises that), and therefore, trust
everything _except_ the last revision loaded.

You can detect ECONNABORTED by looking at the E123456 error code. System
error codes are mapped into that range. On unix the mapping is usually
the identity (e.g., errno 2 becomes E000002). On windows there's an
offset of 720000 (see APR_FROM_OS_ERROR). The Subversion-specific error
codes always have the same numeric values regardless of platform (that's
the APR_OS_START_USERERR range, E120000 through E620000).
