OK - I see your point. A good one, actually ;-)

I have another idea on how to solve this:

Whenever there's a checkout, a commit or an import (or some other sensible
list of commands), put the repository part in the repos-index file, if not
already there. There we have it - an up-to-date list of repositories! "svn
list-repos http://myhost" should be quite simple to implement now, right?

So what about moved or deleted repositories? No problem, because the server
part of "svn list-repos" would check for directory-existence on each entry
in the repos-index file before returning the result. If the directory
doesn't exist, the entry will be removed from repos-index.

I bet one of you gurus could implement this in a day or two ;-)
