Re: [PATCH] svnadmin create --owner --group patch (new feature)

I would rather not have the --user... options. It complicates svnadmin,
and accomplishes nothing that you cant do with a simple "chown -R" or
whatever is appropriate on the target platform.

However, should they be included, I would expect them to generate an
error if svnadmin is unable to do as it's told.

BTW: I have a hard time imagining people scripting svnadmin on
cross-platfoms. (I did follow the discussion you refer to).

Should people try to write cross-platform scripts for repository
creation, it's better that they solve the permission-problems on those
platforms, than that core-SVN has to do it.
