Just wanted someone who is more familiar with the internals of the fs and
repos libraries to give me a little guidance. Karl suggested that we should
read every rep and make sure it matches the checksum:

Marking this as a bite-sized Post-1.0 feature. (Note that issue #649
is done now, so this is basically a matter of reading every rep and
making sure it matches its checksum.)
But I have a few questions. First, I've sat down and gone through the FS
structure documentation several times (which, btw, is very interesting to a
guy who hasn't seen how databases are really used :-) and saw that you need
a key to access the rep. Which made reading every rep from a table an
unlikely thing to do. :-)
At any rate, it seems like the best solution, as far as I can tell, would be
to do something similar to a dump of the repository, only without the actual
dump, and check a file's checksum with the recorded checksum. Does that seem
like a reasonable solution, or should I be looking at this from another
angle? I've gone through and created a 'verify' command that does this now,
and it's at least checking the file checksums just fine.
My real reason for posting this message is about regression testing. Does
anyone have a good idea I can how to create an SVN repository in which the
file data or the checksum gets tweaked for testing purposes?
Thanks!
