My concern is that the svn documentation states clearly that a user cannot
access the BDB repository by a 'file://' url in a network share, because
would risk of database corruption. But I could not find anything regarding
this about the svnadmin hotcopy command. So I don't know if this 'file://'
limitation would also apply to the hotcopy command or not.
