svnadmin load ...

The load command would only work if nobody else touches the repository (in
a way that conflicts) in the meantime. Assuming this is unlikely.

The most obvious alternative that I can think of is to use "git-svn".
Instead of pushing changes to Subversion, push them to Git. Keep changes in
Git in sync with the main Subversion repository.

Whenever you're ready, push changes from Git back to Subversion.
