HOWTO: Screw up a repository (svnadmin load repo > svn_dump)

Hi,

I did somethithing bad today: -I destroyed a repository (but was saved by
a backup) and it was easy as:

  svnadmin load repo > svn_dump
                    ^^^
The resoulting 0 byte file svn_dump is worthless and the Revision number
will still be 0.

Cool eh? Well I don't think so. Of course, I should have typed:

  svnadmin load repo < svn_dump
                    ^^^
Big boys never takes backups but they often cry, but this time I had
luck.

Is it wise to make sure that svnadmin are checking that
((! left_side_of_gt_is_dir) && (! right_side_of_gt_is_file)) before
executing the command?
