I think a hotcopy, brought over theo the Subversion 1.8 server, has a
better chance of being able to dump and reload and upgrade from that
revision. There can be differences between "bad revision that can't be
salvaged with an up-to-date software version", and "confusing revision
that svnadmn dump is having trouble dumping cleanly".
