SVN Commands Freeze on Repository
When I execute svnlook and svnadmin commands against one of my
repositories they sit in an infinite state and never return. I'm not
even able to perform a control break to stop the execution of the command.
I've looked for log and error messages for the commands but have found
nothing. Does anyone have any idea as to what might cause this behavior?
Is there anything I can do besides running the svnadmin commands against
the repository to find out what's wrong with it?
Thanks in advance.

We're using https:// to access the repository. We are also using only
TortoiseSVN exclusively to access the repository. I will try the
db_recover tool against the repository and let you know what I find out.

You could try to use the db_recover. The Windows version of the tools
should be available at:
http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=688
You can use 'db_recover -vec -h /path/to/repos/db' to attempt a
catastrophic recovery.
I do have a couple of questions about how you're accessing the repository.
What method are you using? By that I mean file://, svn://, or http://.
Also, are you using TortioseSVN at all? The reason I ask is because I've
seen one instance at work where somebody was using file:// access, and
Explorer crashed while he was manipulating the repository. I don't think
TortoiseSVN caused it, but it did have an ill effect on the repository.
We've got him setup with svnserve now, which works great, and doesn't
suffer from this sort of problem. :-)

Yes absolutely positive. I should have also mentioned that I'm running
subversion 1.0.4 on and Windows 2000 Server system.
The strange thing about the repository is that it's backup copy works
fine but the live production version of the repository didn't. There
also were no changes that were made b/n backup and the repository
becoming wedged so I'm no missing any key data. I just want to know why
and how to fix it.

You're positive you're executing 'svnlook' and 'svnadmin' as the same
user/group that owns the repository, right?

Yeah I tried the svnadmin recover command and even that hangs (there are
currently no other processes running against the repository). Not sure
what to with it at this point.

Check out an item in the FAQ pertaining to this:
http://subversion.tigris.org/project_faq.html#bdb-recovery
The short version is that you probably need to run 'svnadmin recover' on
your repository. Make sure to take down any processes accessing the
repository before running that command.
