Indeed. But those errors have since been fixed (have not seen such
problems anymore in the last half year or so).

Big +1 from me.

See my own prodding for improvement in this area.

FWIW, I don't buy the argument that svn / sqlite can't break. Bugs (or

repair' / 'svn validate' command or something (like SmartSVN's
'validate admin area') would definitely be nice.
