Well, gave it about 15 minutes once.. nothing. strace svnadmin stopped
at a function that tried to lock the db.lock file, but no one was
accessing the repository at that time)
I know the svnadmin shows no output, but I am being patient. When
top shows there is an activity, I'll wait waiting happily for it
to finish. Thats not the problem...

Oops... yes, I am still using the prepackaged debian 0.14.5-1
I'll either wait for the 0.16 package or try the latest from
CVS.. oops .. SVN :-)
