I like that better; I always thought the NULL exceptions in
svn_repos_dump were stupid, and NULL exceptions in the svn_stream API
would be even moreso.

I don't know how to make "svn verify" check that the repository won't
break in the future on account of current corruption. We can advise
people to run "svn verify" on the result of a hot-backup (which always
gets DB recovery, I think) rather than the source, but that's all I
know.
