I do not have any desire to jump too far into this discussion as I have
virtually no BDB knowledge or experience. I just wanted to point out that
there is a db_recover.exe with the Win32 version of BDB. Further, my
recollection of this FAQ was that it was written originally for the Win32
version of Subversion as it started shipping with BDB 4.3 by default when
Subversion 1.2 was originally released.
I think part of the problem here was that this FAQ was originally written
for the Win32 user-base and was then not adequately maintained and updated
as more knowledge was revealed and as BDB started getting updated to the
newer revision in various *nix distros.
Thanks
