thx for your prompt reply. I think I already know howto wipe
out the changes I don't need or actually I hope I do ;-)
Maybe you could just tell me wheter it could work or not....

(1) Do an whole Dump from Revision 1 - 6500
(2) Do an delta dump from Revision 6502 - 6600
(3) Import (1) into a new repository
(4) import (2) into the same repository

rev 6500 is the bad one. So I do import everything before the
bad rev. Then I'll import all the changes that happend afters
this one revision.

I think this could work, but I'm not quite sure, and had no
time till now to test it...

Anyway, you didn't answer the question about the missing author
and date fields I can find in severeal revisions looking thru
the whole log. As I've mentioned, only authorized users are
allowed to read/write the repository.

regards
clemens
