I found this error:

<screen>
$ svnadmin create /path/to/repos
$ ls /path/to/repos
conf/  dav/  db/  format  hooks/  locks/  README.txt
</screen>

    <para>This command creates a new directory


That is not true, it creates a new repository if /path/to/repos exits.
If /path/to/repos does not exist it creates an error message:

svnadmin create /path/to/repos
svnadmin: Repository creation failed
svnadmin: Could not create top-level directory
svnadmin: Can't create directory '\path\to\repos': The system cannot find
the path specified.

I think the entry should be reworded:

<screen>
$ mkdir /path/to/repos
$ svnadmin create /path/to/repos
$ ls /path/to/repos
conf/  dav/  db/  format  hooks/  locks/  README.txt
</screen>

    <para>This command creates a new directory
