No this isn't normal and isn't supposed to happen. But what Bob suggests is just the pragmatic approach right now. You could spend days/weeks (of yourself and of fellow list-users) to investigate exactly what happened, to find out what was the root cause of the corruption. This could be anything, ranging from a bug in svn or svn client software, to a dangerous file(system) manipulation made outside svn, or maybe a normal (but currently not understood) situation because something "changed" on the repository, ...

I'd agree with Bob here: unless you really want to do the forensic analysis, let's consider it a one-time glitch and repair it (nothing is really lost anyway). If it would ever happen again (or it would happen to other users on upgrading) you can still investigate.

Regards,
Johan
