"Checksum mismatch" following upgrade to 1.2

[Dave Littell <da...@applink.net>]

Hi all,

I upgraded to subversion 1.2 (and went through the BerkeleyDB 
upgrade to 4.3 "recovery" process described at the subversion site). 
  Now commits fail with checksum mismatch errors.  An "svnadmin 
verify" gets all the way to revision 6 (out of over 200) before 
cratering with another checksum mismatch.

It seems pretty clear that the transition to the 4.3 database 
corrupted my repository.  The repository traffic is extremely light 
(I'm the only one using it for generally (very) small commits) and 
all via file:///), so I'm having a hard time accepting that this is 
result of intense usage or mixed network/file access.

Is there a way to repair the repository?


Thanks very much,
Dave

Do you still have a backup of the old 4.2 repository?

Frankly, I suggest and end-run around the whole thing -- just convert
the old repos to FSFS and go from there.
