Can you explain how to trigger the bug you are fixing? Just running
'svnadmin verify' on my r1040058-created Greek repository doesn't.

First, this change doesn't match the code change: the docstring change
says CHECKSUM->DIGEST may be NULL, but the code change allows CHECKSUM
to be NULL.

Second, let's have the docstring say that NULL is only allowed by 1.7+.
(Passing NULL will segfault in 1.6.)

(doxygen has a @note directive.)
