Looks like your repository was 'restored' at some point to a stale
backup and during the restore, the original UUID was replaced with a
new one (that can happen if you create a new empty repository and
import a dump without forcing the old UUID).

You may be able to extract at least the changes from the missing
commits by generating a patch on your 'complete' working copy and
applying it to the new working copy. But that only works if you have a
working copy that contains all the parts of the repository that were
changed by the missing revisions.
