I apologize, the version that I was using was what came with the fink
install at the time (http://fink.sourceforge.net) which IIRC was SVN
1.0.9. The most current one that I see on fink is 1.0.9-11 which may
have been what I was using (I removed it from my systems when I realized
that 1.1.1 with FSFS worked better)
I was never able to track down a particular cause for all the
corruptions. I always let the update go all the way through before I
would modify the files that were under SVN control, but I DID have a
script for a while that would run doxygen (http://www.doxygen.org) on
the same sources in parallel with the commit. I killed that and did
everything by hand from the command line when I had the first corruption
and had to do a dump/load, but that didn't help any (it probably
shouldn't have affected anything; doxygen only reads files, and the
output directory is not under SVN control, nor is it in the path for it)
I wish I could be of more help, if I manage to put together a repository
that gets corrupted consistently under BDB AND doesn't contain
proprietary source, do you want to mail it to you?
