Re: svn: DB_RUNRECOVERY, permission 'w' issue.

Another item to note about ' DB_RUNRECOVERY ',
I discovered after pounding my head against the wall.

i.e.
----------------------------------------
$ svnadmin recover /usr/local/svn/cgi
Please wait; recovering the repository may take some time...
svn: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery
-----------------------------------------

I discovered one of the '__db' files in the 'db' directory didn't have 'g'
'w'rite permission (I have permissions based on groups via svn+ssh). I'm
not sure how it happened, since all the rest of the files were ok. Once I
did a 'g+w' on the file, the problem went away.

Any way to make that error message a little more 'informative', when it
happens?

Just 2 more cents to the issue,
:)
