After no replies and a bit of searching I've come across this item in
the FAQ:

"Every time I try to access my repository, the process just hangs. Is my
repository corrupt?"

I assume the item is talking about something similar to the obstructed
file problem. Of course, the repository isn't in a stuck state since my
friend can commit to it without any issues. But from my end, the
Berkeley DB journaling operation for my change was never completed, so I
need to remove the history of those incomplete operations somehow. Am I
on the right track?

I should also point out that the above commit operation was purely
'adds', if that affects this.

I assume that this is a fairly uncommon problem considering how little a
google search for "obstructed site:subversion.org" comes up with?

Thanks again,
- Mab
