As expected (by me, anyway ;) ), my afflicted repo is indeed FSFS...
which makes sense, since I create all of them using the same procedure
and folder-tree template.

In any case, svnadmin recover gives the same error as the repo browser:

"Can't open file '...\db\min-unpacked-rev': The system cannot find the
file specified"

However, I notice that none of my other repos contains such a file -
whatever that means.

BUT, this repo is the only one that contains a "rep-cache.db" file.

Finally, I note that 4 out of my 6 repos contain a ".../db/format" file
that looks like this:

3
layout linear

While 2 of 6 repos (1 working fine, and this messed-up one) have

4
layout sharded 1000

Is there anything else I can check? Any theories as to how this
happened? Could it have been a failed attempt at auto-updating the repo
format with a new client version?

And thanks, Stefan, Simon, and Kurt for getting me this far. :)
