Right you are.  Somebody noticed this upstream just a week ago:

    http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2010-07/0471.shtml

I'm sure _you_ know the obvious workaround of 'touch REPOS/db/fsfs.conf',
but in case other people stumble across it, I'll patch it in my next
upload.  The basic patch is very simple

    http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2010-07/0663.shtml

and I'm discussing it with upstream now.

But compounding the problem is that svnadmin 1.6.0 through 1.6.11 had a
bug in forgetting to copy fsfs.conf at all, even when it does exist, so
there's a concern about how to handle the situation where a repository
is already in 1.6 format (`cat REPOS/db/format` = 4) but doesn't have
this file - shouldn't we warn the user that they may have previously
lost some configuration?  I don't think I'll try to address _that_,
unless someone else upstream does it for me.

Thanks,
Peter
