I don't think it's a very robust way to cause svn_repos_create() to
fail, precisely for the reason brane mention: the implementation might
trip on the invalid FS value (DSO support notwithstanding) regardless of
the disk status.
If you want to force fail because of the existing directory, I suggest
you create a directory and then do the equivalent of 'chmod -w' on it.
