Why? The summary error code (SVN_ERR_REPOS_VERIFY_FAILED) is used in
only at the end of a run with keep_going=TRUE iff the FS backend
returned an error. It cannot be returned from the FS backend validation
functions, so it will never appear in a notification and will never be
returned when keep_going=FALSE. In fact, that's the main reason I
decided to keep a separate, new error code for this case.
