Jari,

If you really want to make this work, assuming you use bash, you can
add the following to your .bashrc or .bash_profile:

------------
svnadmin() {
  ( for i in "$@"; do
  if [[ "$i" == "file://"* ]]; then
    sed -e 's!^file:///!/!' <<<"$i"
  else
    echo "$i"
  fi
    done; ) | xargs $(which svnadmin)
}
------------
