title: recommended procedure for loading older svn dump and then updating files
body: <p>Here is the situation:</p>
  
  <p>My most recent backup of the svn dump file is for (say) revision 7150. However, the most recent version of the files on my SVN client (subclipse on windows eclipse) is 7175.  At this point the server filesystem crashed in a non-recoverable way.  So, I do not have the latest dump.</p>
  
  <p>To go about creating a new repository on a new server (centos linux), I can load the repository and it will be current till 7150.  Should I create a new folder on my client and checkout the repo to this location (i.e., will the old repo on the client will be obsolete as it points to the old instance?).  Also, given that I will be missing the file changes from 7150 to 7175, what is a recommended way to sync the new repo to the latest state (7175)?  Perhaps if I manually copy the changed files, then a single commit can update to 7151 (similar state as 7175 on the old system)?  Thanks in advance for any pointers.</p>
