There is some mention of svcadmin in core build document. 
There should be a separate document, svcadmin.html, which I
will to try to add later today or else tomorrow. 
In the interim, look at

 org.eclipse.stellation/plugins/org.eclipse.stellation.core/test/build.xml

where relevant part is

  <!-- 
Initializes the test database
  -->
  <target 
      depends="init,drop-firebird,drop-postgresql,init-firebird,init-postgresql" 
      name="initdb" 
      unless="server">
  <property 
    name="options" 
    value="--location=${rdbm}:${testdb} --password=${password} ${comment}"/>
    <exec 
        executable="${svcadmin}" 
        failonerror="yes">
      <arg line="init --location ${rdbm}:${testdb} --username ${user.name} --password password"/>
    </exec>
  </target>

so that, for example,

  svcadmin init  --location postgres:mergetst --user stellation --password password

initializes the repository mergetst for use with postgreSQL.
Only one command -- 'initialize' -- is  currently defined.
