SVN repo issues

We have about 5 different SVN repositories running on SVN 1.6.11 on top of CentOS Linux 6.3. I was asked to migrate our SVN server to a new server last week. We have a cron job that does a Full backup of each repo once a week, and every other night we do an incremental backup via

Code:

 svnadmin dump -r 100-200 --incremental repo |gzip -9 > incremental_100_200.svn.gz

(where repo is the name of the repo and 100 is the oldest revision since the last backup and 200 is the youngest revision at the time of this backup)

I did a full restore of the last full backup to the new server, creating an almost up to date copy of the repos. Throughout the week, I planned to restore the incremental backups from the old server to the new to keep them in sync and then switch to the new server on Friday.

Unfortunately, I must have missed an incremental restore on a few repos, and somehow not notice, and then we switched to the new server, and people continued to add files and make modifications, adding new revisions to the repo. The problem is, since there were some revisions missing on a few repos, now the new revisions have taken those revision numbers, so I cannot just get the incremental from the old repo and load it into the new repo since there is other data now occupying those revisions. What do I do?

svn::dump::headers

SVN::Dump::Headers(3pm) 				User Contributed Perl Documentation				   SVN::Dump::Headers(3pm)

NAME

       SVN::Dump::Headers - Headers of a SVN dump record

SYNOPSIS

	   # SVN::Dump::Headers objects are returned by the read_header_block()
	   # method of SVN::Dump::Reader

DESCRIPTION

       A "SVN::Dump::Headers" object represents the headers of a SVN dump record.

METHODS

       "SVN::Dump::Headers" provides the following methods:

       new( [$hashref] )
	   Create and return a new empty "SVN::Dump::Headers" object.

	   If $hashref is given (it can be a blessed hash reference), the keys from the hash are used to initialise the headers.

       set($h, $v)
	   Set the $h header to the value $v.

	   "_" can be used as a replacement for "-" in the header name.

       get($h)
	   Get the value of header $h.

	   "_" can be used as a replacement for "-" in the header name.

       keys()
	   Return the list of headers, in canonical order.

       as_string()
	   Return a string that represents the record headers.

       type()
	   It is possible to guess the record type from its headers.

	   This method returns a string that represents the record type.  The string is one of "revision", "node", "uuid" or "format".

	   The method dies if it can't determine the record type.

ENCAPSULATION

       When using "SVN::Dump" to manipulate a SVN dump, one should not directly access the "SVN::Dump::Headers" component of a
       "SVN::Dump::Record", but use the "set_header()" and "get_header()" methods of the record object.
