If you are lucky, then making a *copy* of your repository and removing (from
a COPY), __db.*, and then trying "svnadmin recover repospath", and then if
that doesn't work "db_recover -vec" (executed from the db subdirectory of
the copy of the repository), will fix things. If not, try the same again,
this time try removing both __db.* and log.* . If you now have a functioning
repository _don't_ put it back into service - "svnadmin dump" it, and load
the dump into a new repository.

If not, tar or zip your repository, put it on a web/ftp site, and email me
the url (privately if you wish), and I'll see what I can do.

Max.
