Help with 'Failed to load properties from disk' error

I'm getting the following error message when I try to commit:

"svn-commit.2.tmp" 6L, 217C written
Sending        outputProcessing/Rpkgs/capsim/man/combineAges3.Rd
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: Failed to load properties from disk
svn: Can't parse '/home/sfalcon/proj-svn-unix/model-tools/outputProcessing/Rpkgs/capsim/man/.svn/wcprops/combineAges3.Rd.svn-work'
svn: Your commit message was left in a temporary file:
svn:    '/home/sfalcon/proj-svn-unix/model-tools/outputProcessing/Rpkgs/capsim/man/svn-commit.2.tmp'

I know that I can create a new wc somewhere and that will resolve
this, but is there a way to fix it?

The svn-work file it complains about contains 154 bytes and looks like
"@^@^..." when opened in an editor.

Thanks,

+ seth

Well, hot-damn!  Deleting the svn-work file allowed the commit to
succeed.  And saved my wc for the time being.

I took a look at some of the other svn-work files in the same wc
directory and a number of them are also corrupt (i.e, **not**
text files).  No idea what happened.

Thanks for the help.

Wow. That's messed up. It should contain text, not binary data.

Fortunately, the wcprops are (currently, anyway) just a cache. Delete the 
corrupt file, and things should work.

Max.
