Thanks but it didn't help running db_recover in the repository. I tested
several different versions of Berkeley DB without any luck. However,
after having copied the repository with a simple "copy -R repo t" I
could run "svnadmin recover t" on the copy and it was recovered with all
revisions intact. I then simply moved the temp reposotory back as the
original one and everything works nicely again. This same procedure
worked for several affected repositories.
I don't understand why this worked but I imagine it could have been due
to a file not being closed properly? Could also have something to do
with access rights on the repo.
Thanks for your help,
Robert Feldt
