I agree with Stefan here, however, if your repository is MASSIVE you
might want to try some additional
fiddling with it before you try checking it out from scratch.

I've had a couple of problems like you where I was able to increase the
HTTP time out to a much larger
value. The default in the 1.0 series (all of them I think) is set much
too low, like 1 minute or so. Check the
preference file for http-timeout parameter.

Also I've been able to undo the corrpution if it's far enough down in
the structure by removing containing
folders. Look at the file that's missing, remove the folder containing
it and re-try cleanup. You may need
to do this many time before the cleanup succeedes, but if you get
cleanup to succeed your likely to be able to
run 'up' again.

When you loose patience follow Stefans path of least resistance :)
