With the 'svnadmin hotcopy --incremental' backups, we have to do extra
checking in the script (comparing reponame/db/format versions) in order
to make sure that the hotcopy runs correctly.
If you have to do that, please do it correctly:
- Check reponame/format
- Check reponame/db/fs-type
- Check reponame/db/format
... in this order.
Will make a note of what to check for future.

Maybe add --incremental-or-force (or some similar name) as an option.
It will, if the format/fs-type/db-format do not match, fall back to
doing a full blown hotcopy backup instead of incremental.
But it's a 'nice-to-have' and not 'required' because things changing
like this tend to be a once every 2-3 years thing. So we just work
around it.
