It's the unfortunate reality. There are many people who hear "Linux is so easy
to use now!" and don't understand that once you open that shell prompt, it is no
easier now than it was 10 years ago.

Like this?

$ ./svnadmin create --help
create: usage: svnadmin create REPOS_PATH

Create a new, empty repository at REPOS_PATH.

Valid options:
   --on-disk-template arg : specify template for the on disk structure
   --in-repos-template arg : specify template for the repository structure
   --bdb-txn-nosync : disable fsync at transaction commit [Berkeley DB]
   --config-dir arg : read user configuration files from directory ARG
   --user-id arg : create repository for exclusive access by user ARG
   --group-id arg : create repository for shared access by group ARG

I'm familiarizing myself with the source-code at the moment. I've figured out
how to add the options, now I have to write the code to do something with the
options! ;~)
