Maybe you missed the part of my reply to Vladimir which indicated that
at the end of the day, I didn't care what he decided to do UI-wise.

Why, got patches? ;-)

We'd like to keep a single tool that understands all database backends
we eventually support. My personal opinion is that we should have
never implemented either 'svnadmin recover' or 'svnadmin archive'
because they are nothing but redundant, mindless wrappers around
existing functionality provided by the wonderful folks at Sleepycat as
part of the Berkeley distribution. If you plan to use software that
connects to a database (directly, networked, or otherwise), by golly,
you better know how to take care of that database.

But whatever. Until we have more than one backend to choose from,
such concerns are premature.
