John,
what sort of backup policies / procedures do you implement at your company?
recently there has been a lot of talk about SVN not providing corruption
recovery tools. Have you experienced a problem with corruption in SVN?
also, do you incorporate svnadmin verify into your automation regarding SVN
administration?
thanks,
-nathan
