As a user I feel more comfortable running "svnadmin archive" more than running
"db_archive". I am not sure exactly why. Maybe because it feels like that
command got the approval of Subversion developers, I guess.
I am hoping that you will feel better about "svnadmin lsdblogs" command, because
it does have a tiny bit of brains to it. But I do have to admit I am still a
bit confused about the whole utf8 stuff and whether I should be converting the
path to cstring before printing it. But I am not sure if the path is in utf8 in
the first place. The code is in my revised patch that I send to the list
earlier today.
