I actually started doing this today while I was on a plane since you hadn't gotten around to it. My code ended up looking very similar to yours: [[[ /* With 1.8 we are announcing that BDB is deprecated. No support * has been removed and it will continue to work until some future * date. The purpose here is to discourage people from creating * new BDB repositories which they will need to dump/load into * FSFS or some new FS type in the future. */ if (0 == strcmp(opt_state->fs_type, SVN_FS_TYPE_BDB)) { SVN_ERR(svn_cmdline_fprintf(stderr, pool, _("%swarning: FS type '%s'" " has been deprecated\n"), "svnadmin: ", opt_state->fs_type)); fflush(stderr); } svn_hash_sets(fs_config, SVN_FS_CONFIG_FS_TYPE, opt_state->fs_type); ]]] I've gone ahead and wrapped the error string in _() so it can be translated and switched to using the constants for the fs type strings in r1465170. I didn't end up using svn_handle_warning2() because it just felt dirty to build a svn_error_t just to print a warning (especially since producing global pools is so slow). Nor did a generic warning code seem useful. But I'm not going to change it now unless you agree. I did like your fsfs suggestion though.
