of your repository, including all hooks, configuration
files, and, of course, database files. If you pass the
<code class="option">--clean-logs</code> option,
<span class="command"><strong>svnadmin</strong></span> will perform a hotcopy of your
repository, and then remove unused Berkeley DB logs from
the original repository. You can run this command at any
time and make a safe copy of the repository, regardless of
whether other processes are using the repository.</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en" xml:lang="en"><a id="id422862"></a><h2>Options</h2><pre class="screen">
