svnadmin verify

Hi,

I have often seen it advised that you run svnadmin verify as part of your
backup script. As far as I can see this command doesn't actually make any
changes at all (i.e. it doesn't fix problems), it just tells you if there is
anything 'funny' going on in your repository.

Is this correct?

If so what return value should I be looking for to signify that there was an
error in the repository, and what string should I grep the output for, so
that my cron job only e-mails me when an error occurs (by default each
revision is output to the screen, so I need to supress all the successful
lines).

(Or if I have misunderstood what svnadmin verify does then please enlighten
me!)
