Description

"svnadmin load" command is unable to handle a CRLF-delimited dump file, only a
LF-delimited one. Surely this is incorrect?

Steps to repro ..

1. svnadmin dump /repos >dumpfile
2. Use some utility to convert all LF to CRLF (I used Windows Wordpad!)
3. svnadmin load /repos <converted-dumpfile

Observed (stderr)
svn: Malformed stream data
svn: Found malformed header block in dumpfile stream.

Expected:
Repository to load successfully.

I found this out accidentally when I mangled the dump file by appending it do
another one. When I tried fixing the file up by editing (in Wordpad) 

Plaform: This was svn-0.32.1-setup.exe as downloaded from tigris.org, running on
Windows 2000. However I don't see why any of them shouldn't be affected.  Is
svnadmin load using the wrong file mode to open stdin <g>? I would have thought
APR or something would have automatic processing for different newline styles
(CR only, LF only, CFLF)
