Request for a feature

Hi!

I had the following situation:

I have a repository, mostly of binary files.
I created it from a couple of files (rev 0) and then
commited lots of files (rev 1).
I have been using it for a long time so far.

Yesterday, I tried a checkout and got a
checksum mismatch for rev 1!!!

I managed to turn around that, writing a small
python script to change the existing checksum
for the one expected on the file repos/db/revs/1.

Then I did a svnadmin dump, built a new repository
and loaded it with that dump.

A new checkout revealed that only a file was corrupted.

The question or the feature I propose is:

Why not a switch for the "svnadmin dump" that causes
mismatch checksums only being logged (stderr?) and
then ignored (or something better if possible)?

Thank you for any comments on this.

Regards
Paulo
