If you were previously running Subversion and you updated to run using the
db-4.2.52 then I think you'll need to do a "svnadmin dump" of your
database with the old subversion svnadmin and a "svnadmin load" with the
new version. That's because of the switch from db4-4.1.25 to db4-4.2.52.

However, if that assumption is not the case then we'll have to look
further.
