Yes :-) Seriously though, I wasn't joking; how do you expect
Subversion to recover from things you can't foresee now? We'll only be
able to tell something is wrong, not in which way it needs to be
changed to be correct....

Ok, fair enough, but the request from the OP doesn't sound like he's
asking for this. He's asking for functional tooling, as I interpret
it. So, while it would be much clearer that recover doesn't do
anything, it isn't a solution to his request.
