So there's a .svn/logfile somewhere trying to run a command, and it
can't do so. Is it because the 'asm' directory doesn't exist? What
does investigation show?

'svn status' shows lockfiles as well, no need for 'find'.

I don't know what svn command was interrupted, but it might be as
simple as rm -rf'ing some parent directory (like 'include'?), run 'svn
cleanup', then run 'svn up' to get the missing directory back.
