    Description

      Trying to load a dump that modifies a file, while an 'svn lock' lock exists on
      that file, leads to the following error:
      
      subversion/libsvn_fs_fs/lock.c:671: (apr_err=160034)
      svnadmin: E160034: Cannot verify lock on path '/iota'; no username available
      
      We should teach svnadmin to optionally break locks.
      
      Use case: Arnout van Meer <rr2do2 at splashdamage.com> on IRC was trying to
      recover from a hotcopy plus per-revision incremental dumps, but loading the
      dumps failed with lock errors.
