Corrupted Repository revision but HEAD is intact

["Srilakshmanan, Lakshman" <la...@police.vic.gov.au>]

Hi All,

I was led to believe that Subversion stores deltas between revisions.

Currently I have a repository that is corrupted at r23 but the HEAD
revision is complete.

I am not complaining :), but I would have expected the file(s) in r23 to
be incomplete in the HEAD revision as well. 

Is there a "self-correcting" algorithm ?
Am I overlooking something, which may come back to haunt me at a later
date.

Any thoughts is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Lakshman

It does.

No.

Perhaps no file in HEAD is related to the files changed in revision  
23. Perhaps the files modified in revision 23 were later deleted. Hard  
to know. If you have a corrupt repository, then you will have trouble  
retrieving those files that were modified in revision 23 (for example  
if you try to look at earlier revisions in your repository).
