Hello,
Thanks for the tip to svndumpfilter ! It was exactly was I was looking
for.
I imported libmatio [1], sivp [2] and worldwind [3] into Debian-Science.

For the record, here is the series of commands.
1) dump the remote repository
2) retrieve what you need
3) inject it

# svnadmin create local-repo
# mv local-repo/hooks/pre-revprop-change.tmpl
local-repo/hooks/pre-revprop-change
# chmod +x torsten/hooks/pre-revprop-change
# sed -i -e "s|exit 1|exit 0|" local-repo/hooks/pre-revprop-change

# svnsync init file:///home/sylvestre/dev/debian/local-repo/
https://bollin.googlecode.com/svn/

# svnsync sync file:///home/sylvestre/dev/debian/local-repo/
# svnadmin dump /home/sylvestre/dev/debian/local-repo/ > repos-dumpfile
# cat repos-dumpfile |svndumpfilter include worldwind >
worldwind-dumpfile

On Alioth:
# svnadmin load /srv/svn.debian.org/svn/debian-science/ <
worldwind-dumpfile
