Clearly it didn't dump and load, and I'd have been shocked if that
were part of an automatic process. It would be overstepping safety
and appropriateness.
The problem seems to be that the BDB library was updated and the
change required manual intervention to upgrade the BDB data in the
repo. Svnadmin recover happens to do that automatically, and IIRC
there is also a way of doing it using BDB utilities.
