AW: Re: AW: AW: AW: How to check integrity of database?

So we shall wait for the day our data is corrupt to make you understand that we (the SVN admins) like to have one single tool that guarantees that it did the best it could to to tell us whether the FSFS repository is corrupted or not? :-(
 
This whole discussion proofs that I am not the only one that is concerned about corrupted repositories (including properties), so I don't understand that the SVN development team is more or less laughing at this task. :-((

I think it's because we just didn't think of it.

We could checksum them, I suppose. But so far there hasn't been a
real-world instance of them being corrupted (yet no other part of the
repository being corrupted), so we haven't bothered. Unless there's
been a recent report of such and I just missed it? Let us know if so.

How's that for a direct answer? :-)
