Message Yes, you can. You can use the 'svndumpfilter' to re-order and leave out the now empty revisions. However, this will confuse the *heck* out of checked out repositories, which will have newer revisions that are not in the repository. I've accidentally done this, and this way lies madness.

You would have to create a new repository with a new UUID, make very sure not to preserve the old UUID, and have people use the 'svn switch --relocate' command to switch to the new repository, even if you kept it at the old location. And if you're doing that, you may as well just have a new repository with a new name, so that your old legacy material is still available.
