$ subversion/svnadmin/svnadmin create --owner nobody /tmp/nobody
svn: Illegal target for the requested operation
svn: problem setting owner/group for repository (must be root)

That's a slight variant of the patch I submitted (I'm not happy with the error
message and I keep changing it). If the user has write access to the
destination, this will also leave the newly created [empty] directory in place
(which I can't decide if I like). I suppose that I could first test for whether
this code is running as root and just warn and continue if not.
