i think the "users/server admins" distinction is important.
maybe right now a lot of people who *arent* sysadmins are setting up
repositories so that they can 'try it out'... but in real life, i would
expect that maintaining a subversion repository is something that would
be done by a sysadmin -- and if my sysadmin doesn't know how to RTFM,
then i'm scared. ("gosh, i *thought* i was using 'dump' correctly...")
the Book also says (in the repository backup section) that the
"hot-backup.py" script will backup up a live repository, and then remove
unneeded log files. if this is true, then i would say that subversion
*does* already have built-in support for this operation.
