Yes, that's questionable: However, I'll point out that /all/ the
svnadmin commands have the same problem: all notifications go to stdout,
even warnings and errors. IMO, we should change that and really always
send warnings and errors to stderr, which means changing the notify
callback in svnadmin.

The scope of that is somewhat bigger than this discussion of 'svnadmin
verify', but we may as well look at fixing all of svnadmin's error
reporting in 1.9 as long as we're looking at it; it wouldn't really be
that big a change overall.
