Description

I got the following message from 'svnadmin load':
svn: Found malformed header block in dumpfile stream

I would like to request a more informative error message here:

- what is wrong (in my case, apparently discrepancy in the md5 sum because
revision contents were corrupted in the dump file)

- where (which revision and node, possibly which line in the dump file)
