Your repository was created waaaaaaaaaay back in the day. You need to
first run the enable-dupkeys.sh script (necessary as of revision 1384)
on the original repos itself, *then* use the 2092 branch code to
`svnadmin dump' the repository, and THEN use the latest code to
`svnadmin load' it again.
Whew.
I'm tired just thinking about it. You?
