Hi Andreas, Thanks.
I think such recovery tools should be there. Probably not as part of 'svnadmin' but at least in contrib. The FSFS verify helped me. I will post the script I used to my website. I am not sure if the attachments are allowed in this list. If allowed, I will post here as well. I am a reasonably good python developer. However I don't know much about svn internals. So if someone is interested in writing such tool, I am willing to contribute.
