I came across a bug with svndumpfilter. 

When svndumpfilter exclude command accepts path prefixes starting with either /<pathname> 
or just <pathname>, I expect it to work the same way when we use with --targets option.

For Eg :

Both of the following command works fine when we directly provide the 
path prefix

$ cat sample.dump | svndumpfilter exclude /tags > filtered4.dump

$ cat sample.dump | svndumpfilter exclude tags > filtered4.dump

However, when we use targets, it seems to be a must to prefix all the path prefixed with 
a / which is not mentioned anywhere in the documentation as well.

http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.ref.svndumpfilter.commands.c.exclude.html 

http://svnbook.red-
bean.com/en/1.7/svn.ref.svndumpfilter.html#svn.ref.svndumpfilter.sw.targets

We had to lookup other sites to identify '/' was required in the 
--targets filename being provided for the svndumpfilter to exclude those.

The following is how I verified in my Apache SVN 1.7.4. Paul confirmed that it still 
occurs with a trunk build @1384889

========
WORKING:
========

$ cat omit.txt
/tags

$ cat sample.dump | svndumpfilter exclude --targets /tmp/omit.txt > 
filtered3.dump

Excluding prefixes:
    '/tags'

Revision 0 committed as 0.
[...snip...]
Revision 40 committed as 40.

Dropped 1 node:
    '/tags'

==============
NOT WORKING :
==============
$ cat omit.txt
tags

$ cat sample.dump | svndumpfilter exclude --targets /tmp/omit.txt > 
filtered2.dump

Excluding prefixes:
    'tags'

Revision 0 committed as 0.
[...snip...]
Revision 40 committed as 40.

------------------

and the tags directory is not dropped. I wish this to be fixed to make it work in either 
ways.
