Hm, I don't see much differences.
Data format is the same SVN-fs-dump-format-version: 3. In my case I
observe following differences:
- svnadmin writes sha1 checksums along with md5 ones
- hashtable dumps can have different elements dump order
- svnrdump sets Prop-delta: true for empty props
- text deltas can be encoded differently (does it affect svn:ann?)
My svnadmin is version 1.6.16 (r1073529)
svnrdump is from r1135490
Anything else I'm missing in a simple dump of a repository root?

For repos with no read restrictions this isn't necessary, like those
in the test script supplied.
It's a placeholder for quick local patch if anyone wants to test a
repo with permissions.
In future it should be allowed to configure credentials in
corresponding remote section of git.config and
pass all these options to helpers. Using ~/.subversion/ configuration
is a valid option too.
