Did you read what I said in the issue? I wasn't denying that there was
a problem; I was asking you to re-route the problem through a different
medium.

You're right, though. I should have resolved the issue as a "duplicate"
of issue 1968.

You don't need any help? You're not interested in making your
repositories work again?

If your only goal was tell us that you found a bug, then I guess you
succeeded in that goal.

As you noticed, others have already told us about this bug. So your
report isn't useful to the subversion project, unless you're willing to
work with us to figure out the cause and fix.

I was hoping that we could not only help you get your repository working
again, but help us resolve issue 1968 in the process. If we could
investigate or fix your problem, perhaps that would give us a clue to
figure out why this error has started happening to certain users quite
recently.

?? That's a feature, not a bug. You can do all sorts of things without
accessing the repository (revert, diff, etc.)

Perhaps you should restore your repository backups?
