svnadmin: Malformed representation header

[Bryce Gemmill <bg...@gmail.com>]

I'm getting the above mentioned error whenever I try to dump my Subversion
repository for movement to another server.  The current version of the
repository looks OK in my working copy, and checkin's are working.

The subversion repository is FSFS, using svn 1.2.3 on Windows Server 2003.

Has anyone seen this?  If so, how did you fix it?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Bryce

We are facing this problem from time to time.
There is no fix without possible data loss.
The only thing we could do is dump the repository till the repository is 
Ok then use
svnadmin dump --incremental -r <bad rev +1>:HEAD

You can examinie the broken revision with svnlook. To see what would be 
lost.
We import the dumps into a new repository (now using BDB)
