No, it's not intentional as such, but it's the same behaviour as BDB
recovery, I believe. Unfortunately the current recovery API doesn't
provide for cancellation or feedback, though it should be pretty trivial
to extend the new API to include at least cancellation (for FSFS, anyway)
- does that sound like a good idea?

Heh. FSFS recovery doesn't require an exclusive lock, so this is actually
okay. That said, the user experience is certainly sub-optimal, but it's
not entirely clear how we can improve it (the locking is semi-hardcoded
in svnadmin and libsvn_repos). Suggestions welcome.
