+1 - a tool like 'svnadmin verify' should have as many integrity checks
as possible. It should verify anything that _can_ be verified.

Followup: shouldn't we have a tool, similar to
tools/server-side/svn-populate-node-origins-index.c, to rebuild
rep-cache.db from scratch? In fact, I believe it would be useful to
rebuild both at once, along with anything else we decide to cache now
or in the future. Perhaps 'svnadmin verify --rebuild-caches', but
could be prototyped as a separate executable under tools/server-side/.
