    Description

      Berkeley DB allows you to specify programmatically and via DB_CONFIG alternative
      directories for database and logfiles used in a given environment (the
      "set_lg_dir" and "set_data_dir" directives).  If you make use of such things in
      your Subversion repositories, most things work just fine.  But any APIs which
      presume that logfiles or database files live in the environment directory are
      broken.  One obvious example (svn_fs_berkeley_logfiles) comes to mind -- using
      'svnadmin list-dblogs' or 'svnadmin list-unused-dblogs' on a so-configured
      repository will return bogus paths.  There might also be problems with the
      hotcopy code, but I've not verified that.
