Yes, that makes sense. The intent was for <name> to be the "service name",
and for the "display name" to be "Subversion Repository (%s)" where %s was
<name>. How about this: "Subversion Repository (%s)" will be the default,
and a --display-name option will allow the user to override the display
name.

Ah, I completely agree, and I was going to do exactly that, and simply
forgot to mention it in my post. (My post mentions "enumerate", and that's
what I meant by that, I just forgot to elaborate on it.)

What's wrong with making life easier for administrators? This just removes
a barrier of entry for some administrators.
