We have the same situation here. We have lots of folks using SVN and TSVN
that don't know anything at all about VCS's (same types you mentioned).
We've already had a few instances of mistakes and things being added to the
repo's that shouldn't be added, but nothing that required a D & L.
The process of educating users is going well, and I expect that in a few
weeks most of the goofy commits will begin to approach zero. :)
On the other hand, I'd like to see the obliterate feature added to
svnadmin. It would be nice insurance to have.
