<p><span class="command"><strong>svnadmin</strong></span> is the administrative tool for
monitoring and repairing your Subversion repository. For
detailed information on repository administration, see the maintenance section for <a class="xref" href="svn.reposadmin.maint.html#svn.reposadmin.maint.tk.svnadmin" title="svnadmin">the section called “svnadmin”</a>.</p>
<p>Since <span class="command"><strong>svnadmin</strong></span> works via direct repository access
(and thus can only be used on the machine that holds the
repository), it refers to the repository with a path, not a URL.</p>
<p>Options in <span class="command"><strong>svnadmin</strong></span> are global, just
as they are in <span class="command"><strong>svn</strong></span>:</p>
