I don't understand why you don't checksum the properties. I do
understand why the properties/log messages aren't versioned, but I'd
still like to know when my repository has been corrupted somehow.

I used to trust my nightly batch run of "svnadmin verify"'s to inform me
when something has gone wrong. But as I understand now some external
event (virus, disk damage) might alter the property part of the
repository database and "svnadmin verify" might never notice this. I'm
not really happy about this...

Greetings,

Leon Zandman
