command-line error: reference to non-existent revision???

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi guys,

While trying to commit one of my working copies via the command-line svn, I get
the following error:

Reference to non-existent revision '19' in filesystem
'/usr/local/svn/WWWBackups/db'

I don't understand this, because the latest revision in the repository is 18
(and 19 = 18 + 1, right?)

Anybody have any ideas how to get out of this situation?

Thanks,
_Ryan Wilcox

That's what revision number is displayed in the web interface...

I recovered, tried to check out, and got this message:

$ svn co https://scm.wilcoxd.com:8081/svn/WWWBackups
svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/svn/WWWBackups'
svn: PROPFIND of '/svn/WWWBackups': 500 Internal Server Error
(https://scm.wilcoxd.com:8081)

Looking in my apache error log, I see this message:

[Sat May 08 12:17:17 2004] [error] [client 24.229.41.8] Could not fetch resource
information.  [500, #0]
[Sat May 08 12:17:17 2004] [error] [client 24.229.41.8] Could not open the root
of the repository  [500, #160007]
[Sat May 08 12:17:17 2004] [error] [client 24.229.41.8] (17)File exists: No
transaction named 'p' in filesystem '/usr/local/svn/WWWBackups/db'  [500,
#160007]

Now I'm really outside of my realm...

Thanks!,

So your working copy thinks that moveabletype.backup was last changed in
revision 19, and is at version 19.

Are you *sure* that HEAD is 18?  If you do a fresh checkout of a new
working copy, what revision do you get?

What happens when you run 'svnadmin recover' on the repository?

Is this over http?

Can you show us the output of 'svn st -v'?
