 twice mentions the Berkeley database. I assume this is leftover from
 a time when Subversion had no other backend? I believe this chapter
 also applies to FSFS repositories. If that's true then it should not
 mention BerkeleyDB unless what's being mentioned is specific to
 BerkeleyDB repositories. In particular I would assume that the first
 mention ("Does every process (or user) in the previous list have the
 rights to read and write the Berkeley DB files?") is generic to any
 kind of repository. (Should read "Does every process (or user) in the
 previous list have the rights to read and write the repository
 files?") And that the second reference ("As a repository is used,
 Berkeley DB occasionally creates new log files to journal its
 actions.") is BerkeleyDB-specific since FSFS repositories do not have
 a journal, and this should be rewritten to account for the
 possibility of FSFS repositories. (Should read "If your repository
 uses Berkeley DB, as it is used, new log files are occasionally
 created to journal its actions.")
