Similar here, except the users are primarily a team of electrical
engineers. `obliterate' via `svnadmin' would be very useful insurance
indeed -- espcially for the rare case where someone commits a CD .ISO
image or huge ZIP file to the repository :-). Availability of this
command via `svn' sounds like a bad idea.

Also, when I used to admin Perforce for a world-wide engineering team
years back, I would need this functionality approximately once every few
months. Educating the multi-lingual, multi-cultural, in 3 countries,
team was an ongoing process that was easier said than done. And since
when is it the computer support guy that gets to descide to hire only
competent staff? That is *not* a real-world situtation, and just wishful
thinking, IMHO.
