Ok, either create that folder inside the .svn folder yourself (just an
empty folder), or check out a fresh working copy.

That one's more serious: your repository is corrupt!

Different versions would not corrupt a repository.

I hope you have a backup of your repository. Otherwise you might at
least loose *some* data as it looks now.

* get the Subversion command line client
* run 'svnadmin recover' on your repository
* if that doesn't help, try 'svnadmin dump path\to\repo > repodump.txt'
* you can then see in the file 'repodump.txt' what the repository
contained (of course, only if the repo isn't completely screwed).
* after that, create a new repository with 'svnadmin create
path\to\new\repo'
* then, run 'svnadmin load path\to\new\repos < repodump.txt'

I hope this helps. If not, you should ask on the Subversion mailing list
for help with your repository.
