Hmm, depends on how much confidence you have in very new code. For
all its flaws, the Berkley DB has been used in SVN for quite a long
time, so is a known quantity. I'd wait a good 6-12 months before
trusting the new fsfs type repository backends to critical data.
I'm using SVN BerkleyDB backend with 1.1.0 for quite a large 
repository and the only real problems I've had are when the disk it
was on filled up and even then an svn admin recover fixed the DB.
