Messed up repository

[Jeff Rogers <pb...@gmail.com>]

I have a zero byte file in my repos/db/revs directory.  It is the most
recent file (number 95 in this case).  This is causing all sorts of
problems with check in.

For example...

svn ci -m "checkin notes"

adding......
adding.....

Transmitting file data .subversion/libsvn_client/commit.c:817: (apr_err=70014)
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
subversion/libsvn_subr/io.c:2132: (apr_err=70014)
svn: Can't read file '/Users/home/repos/db/revs/95': End of file found

I've tried to run svnadmin recover, which resultes in...

svnadmin recover /Users/home/repos/
Repository lock acquired.
Please wait; recovering the repository may take some time...
subversion/libsvn_fs/fs-loader.c:130: (apr_err=160033)
svnadmin: Failed to load module for FS type 'bdb'

I'm running a binary of svn and svnserve on Mac OS X, I suspect I'm
using fsfs, is that what is causing this recover problem?

I can live without what was done in the revision causing the issue, is
there a way to just back this thing out without making a bigger mess?

I have no idea how this state of affairs could have come about. Revision 
files are prepared in a temporary location, than moved into place when 
complete.

Anyway, as a workaround, move the broken repository away from where it can 
be remotely accessed, edit the repos/db/current file, decreasing the first 
number from 95 to 94, then do a svnadmin dump of the repository, create a 
new repository, load the dump, copy across any modifications you have made 
to the hooks and conf directories, and move the newly reloaded repository 
into place.

Max.
