Hey,

The dump format doesn't escape the filename at all, so it would probably
fall for something cleverer like a 'copyfrom' line.  To be honest I'm
not sure how you'd even detect such a filename.

Yep, sounds like a dump-load-format design bug.

If the consensus is that this bug isn't fixable, I'd recommend putting a
note to that effect in "contrib/svn-fe/svn-fe.txt".

Makes sense.  Please make it so.

Thanks much,
