I thought about that, but then I decided that it would be more sensible
to make FSFS (currently the only user) do that implication while it was
checking for both values (which it needs to do anyway), so that we would
have the same behaviour from clients other than svnadmin.

[ So the code called from svn_fs_fs__create() reads something like:

  if --pre-1.4-compatible
    make format 1
  else if --pre-1.5-compatible
    make format 2
  else
    make format 3
]

Perhaps we need to make the help text clearer though, if you thought
you needed both?
