Thanks,
I found svndumpfilter in the svn book, and gave it a try. Unfortunately it  
seems to be confused about files that have moved around in the repository,  
I was at least not able to make it dump the entire history for a directory  
that over time has changed name, and that contains files that have moved  
in from other directories.
