I wanted to check this out, but all I got was an error message

  svn: Berkeley DB error while opening environment for filesystem /svn/repos/main/db:
  DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery

Usually this symptom means that some process that accessed the
Subversion repository did not have its umask set correctly (to 002), and
created a log file in /svn/repos/main/db/ that is not group-writable.
The fix is simple:

  chmod g+w /svn/repos/main/db/*
  svnadmin recover /svn/repos/main

but it is really a pain to make sure that all processes that work with
the repository have the correct umask set.  AFAIR the Subversion book
recommends replacing /usr/bin/svn and /usr/bin/svnserver with simple
wrappers that set the umask and execs the real binaries.  I personally
wish Subversion added a per-repository option to force the correct
umask.
