Is that good enough? Exclusive-access doesn't imply that the process
cannot be interrupted. At present I can Control-C a 'svnadmin load',
run recovery, and have a perfectly consistent repository. If UUID
update is not atomic that guarantee goes out the window. Suppose the
process gets interrupted by power failure, disk space, kernel OOM.
