As regards the config files, -0 (tending towards -1). The runtime
configuration area is not release-version-specific. Folks like myself who
keep their ~/.subversion under version control and use it across many
different clients (which may be running different versions of Subversion)
could be constantly irritated by such warnings. And of course, we devs
would be likely to run into such things often, too. Besides, the config
files are generated as templates -- you'd have to work extra hard to botch
the spelling of an option name there. :-)

As for warning on bogus --config-option input ... I'm closer to +0 or +1 there.
