I made the output to be exactly like the one you have suggested above.
But, I am also adding one more error message as follows

svnadmin: E165005: Repository has corruptions.

and then exit with exit code 1. The default behaviour is not at all
affected. This new error message is effected only when --keep-going is
true. Is that fine ? Now all the test cases pass.

Attaching the patch for you to have a look at it.

Not attaching the log message since I am yet to work on sending the
"Verified revision x" to the stdout. I am facing a few issues in it.
Like, a few tests fail because the expected output don't match with the
actual output. So need suggestions on that too. Is it fine to tweak the
already available test case's expected output based on the output of
what we send to stdout and stderr ?

Thanks and regards
