[PATCH] add svnadmin et al to svn+ssh checklist

From: Andy Whitcroft <apw_at_shadowen.org>

It seems that svnadmin and family take out BerkeleyDB locks to
stablise the database during their operation. As a result they can
also cause new logs to be created and other permissions issues. Patch
below adds a note to the checklist to this effect.

Add warnings about using svnadmin et al to svn+ssh checklist.
