recovering data from a Berkeley DB repository

[Michael Driscoll <md...@bu.edu>]

hello,

I have data that in an SVN repository that I would like to recover;  SVN 
cannot read this data, but I know that the data was created in BerkeleyDB 
format, and would like to parse it out any way I can.

Could anyone suggest a straightforward way to pull the raw data out?

here is the directory listing from the /repos/path/db directory.

   total 3.8M
