Yeah. Sorry about the typo. Just to make it clear:
svn-fi should only ever support inlined blobs. For older streams,
there's an extra overhead- it'll have to be chained along with a
helper program that transforms the stream to inline all the blobs.

Oh yes. We discussed this on IRC :) I'm just afraid that it won't be
fast enough- my idea is to essentially use `svnrdump dump` to replay
the blobs in a certain (path, revision); let me know if you think
there's a quicker way.
