Restoring a Bad Dump

Hello all,

It's a long story, but I have a large (13 gig) subversion dump file that
was taken at the wrong "level". That is, there were several different
repositories on the server like this:

/repositories/repo_1
/repositories/repo_2
/repositories/repo_3

The dump file was generated from the "/repositories" level like so:

svnadmin dump /repositories > /backup/subversion.dump

Obviously, svnadmin is pretty unhappy with this dump file. I have tried a
couple of dump-reading utilities -- "svn-dump2dir" and "svndumptool" -- and
I might be able to eventually get one to work, but I thought I'd ask this
group, have any of you ran into this situation before? Is it possible to
restore this dump? I don't really care about the history, the most recent
version of the files would be great.

Thanks,
John
