It's an grammatical thing, I think. 'svnadmin lsdblogs' implies that
you want to see some DB logs. I mean, there they are, right there in
you db/ subdir, you can see them, and yet this function doesn't list
them?!

Oooooh. I forgot to run 'svnadmin lsdblogs --i-really-mean-it-this-time'.
How silly of me!

This is no more unsafe that 'ls' (which, you'll note, doesn't default
to --only-things-you-somehow-know-i-want-to-delete).
