Add revision and quiet support to svnadmin verify...
Hello All,
It's been a while since I made a commit, so I'm throwing this out there for review. It adds support for specifying which revisions to verify and enables quiet support for the 'svnadmin verify' command. Nothing too exciting, but it has been requested by a couple of users, and I think it's useful.
On a different note, how would you guys feel about adding an 'svnadmin verify -r$REV' step to the default hook script (assuming this patch gets committed)? One of the problems that I'm constantly seeing is that users fail to run any sort of checks on their repositories... ever. Then they end up with things like the FSFS corruption, and discover it long after the commit has been made. Adding a line to the post-commit hook could at least help people take some sort of step, especially when it comes to detecting the FSFS corruption that we've been seeing. Perhaps even a comment about how to turn on incremental dumps would be a good thing too?
Just a thought.

The patch looks fine to me.

Seems reasonable.
