It wasn't done creating the repository, it was hung waiting for
/dev/random to return some random data to be used in creating the UUID
for the repos.  You can probably get it to complete by hiting lots of
keys on the keyboard while svnadmin create is hung (no, I'm not kidding,
that'll give /dev/random a chance to grab some entropy from the keyboard
driver).
