Good luck :-) I know a little something about the hard work involved in
recovering subversion repos, in the last year we had TWO cases of
corrupted revisions in an svn repo we were managing. It had something to
do with concurrent commits and the fact that we were running
apache-mpm-worker (instead of prefork).
In any case, both times I managed to get it back by as follows (from
memory):
backup the repo to a point right before the corruption:
svnadmin dump -r 0:1234 > /tmp/dump.head
backup from after the point of corruption:
svnadmin dump --incremental -r 1235:HEAD > /tmp/dump.tail
Restore the first dump to a new location, then make a checkout.
Recreate the missing revision (this is the hard part, luckily we had a
mailing list with diffs) and commit it.
Restore the rest.
Not sure if that helps but I thought I'd share my experiences.
Cheers,
Izak
