It's not stamped with the SVN version number, because there's not
necessarily any repository format change when there's a new
Subversion release.

Instead, we added a <repository>/format file; whenever the repository
format changes, we bump the number in that file. If the file is not
present, then we know it's the very first repository format.

So svnadmin should detect if there's a version mismatch. (CMike, am I
sane here?)
