You're using Alpha software... and Alpha software which uses a real
database. That means, believe it or not, you're going to have to do
some very simple database administration every once in a great while.

When the db-schema changes (about once per year), we give users weeks
of warning. We scream about it in the CHANGES file, we scream about
it on all the mailing lists, and we write whole svnadmin commands that
do most of the upgrade work. We document the process in the book,
even write up a FAQ with complete detailed instructions, put it into
the source tree, and publicize it as much as possible:

Sorry if I sound grumpy... but I don't possibly see how this project
could *possibly* bend over backwards any more to make this easy for
you. When I see complaint like the one above, I want to shake the
person and scream, "pay *attention*, man!"

Oy. Maybe my blood sugar is too low. Off to fix that now.
