Those in the know would notice that dump file format version 2 means "svnadmin dump --no-deltas", but for the rest of us, an explicit reminder is useful.

That’s the end of the series.  Thanks for reading.

On the horizon, as you may have guessed, are changes to use dumpfile format v3. Doing so sanely requires two-way communication with fast-import, I think (as discussed). Ram has already put together a prototype delta applier, so it seems to be mostly a matter of plumbing now.
