Yes, this looks like what I need. Thanks! Will read up on this tonight.

So basically, talked to the manglers some more, and this is the requirement:

1. dump the repo
2. give them the repo
3. they need to load it to a machine, not my responsibility
4. they need to use their own UI (Probably Tortoise)
5. they look for whatever they want.

So in step 1, the requirement is:
dump the repo from beginning of time til June of 2015. So probably after
reading up on that url above and testing it out a few times, this is probably exactly
what we need.

Then they will have a june2015.dmp file and I'm in the clear.

Luckily for me, one of my daily backups is a dump file every night to a VM.
So to make sure the dump files work, I just do svn://backup_vm_ip address.
