List instructions are here:

You don't need an a CollabNet or Tigris account, but if you were not  
subscribed to the list when you sent your message, it will take some  
time for the moderators to approve it.

It's probably difficult to respond to a thread if you don't already  
have the email(s) of that thread in your email program. But it's fine  
to post a new message and mention an earlier thread, ideally by  
including its URL in the list archive. The thread is:

If you do not have a backup of your repository, you probably cannot  
recreate the missing revision files, or use those subsequent  
revisions that refer back to them; the data is lost. You could write  
a script to do an incremental dump of each revision in the  
repository, ignoring errors. Then load these into a new repository  
(being sure to ignore the UUID in the first dump so that a new UUID  
is generated, since this will be a different repository.) This will  
at least give you the data of those revisions not affected by the  
missing revisions. And then be sure to set up a good backup strategy!
