I've done much worse to SVN repos before.
I wrote a little script to run when my IDE exited, it was meant to
clean up all the little ~ backup files created by the ide and auto add
anything new.

!/bin/sh
svn add *
svn delete * (was supposed to be svn delete *~)
svn commit -m "Auto added new files to repo"

Yes this is an example of some of the worst thought out code I've ever created.

Dave, you drooling bafoon! You copied the .svn directories from
"foobarfoobar" when you created the "foobarfoobarfoo" directory! Do this
to fix it:

cd foobarfoobarfoo
find . -name .svn -exec rm -rfv {} \;
cd ..
svn add foobarfoobarfoo
svn commit -m "I'm dumb" foobarfoobarfoo

And now go fix the "foobarfoobar" directory because you told svn to do
strange things. If svn has a file name size limit, this ain't the
problem. In this case, it was user error.
