All svn_repos_verify_fs2() is a big for loop (start_rev..end_rev),
so I don't see in what way Prabhu's patch is preferable to calling
svn_repos_verify_fs2() in a loop from user code.

I might think differently if Prabhu says he already wrote
a verify-keep-going.py a year ago, has been using it since, and decided
it's so useful it belongs in the core. But I don't know that to be the
case.
