Agreed- this feature has a very narrow usecase. Anyway, since I started the thread, let me explain the motivation for this feature. It derives from `svnrdump` -- Anybody without administrative priviliges can actually mirror a complete Subversion repository using `svnrdump dump | svnrdump load` quite efficiently. Let's say some sponsor wants to provide a mirroring service- with the proposed feature the person will simply have to create a blank repository and enable pre-revprop-change/ pre-uuid-change on and wait for someone to load the content into that repository. After the intial mirroring is done, he can always turn off the pre-uuid-change. It's probably a "dangerous" feature, and I don't know if it's worth the trouble. -- Ram
