Hotcopy corrupt?
I compared a hotcopy to the original repo. It is missing files
write-lock and txn-current-lock. How can I get a complete
backup?

A. The lock files are created if they're missing.

Since nobody has replied, I poked around and found in:
<http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/subversion/libsvn_fs_fs/structure>
These mentions:
txn-current File containing the next transaction key
...
write-lock Empty file, locked to serialise writers
txn-current-lock Empty file, locked to serialise 'txn-current'
...
