Yes, but implementing a good data-integrity system can be quite hard.

I did some research myself and noticed that the revision properties
files (located in the db/revprops directory) aren't well guarded. For
example if you change some characters in the revision's log text
(keeping its total length the same) it will NOT be noticed by "svnadmin
verify".

I would expect those files also to be protected by some hashing
mechanism.

Greetings,
