BDB got a really bad rep for needing recovery from
repository-destroying failures, back before FSFS came out - enough
that I stuck with CVS rather than migrate a large repository to SVN at
all until well after FSFS went in.
I don't know if it *still* has this reputation, but I don't really
need to find out, FSFS has been quite solid for us.
