Checksum mismatch in repo: how to fix?

Hello,

I have been committing my masters thesis to a partially corrupt
repository for a few days now, only just discovering it today. :(

When I try to checkout or update i get the message:

svn: Checksum mismatch on rep '3h':
   expected: 241309c1a14a94940f57af83d76038d8
     actual: c6838e324679044d56ac1217df9036ec

But if I run verify or dump I get this:

* Verified revision 0.
svn: Checksum mismatch on rep '0':
   expected: 5bbf6a265ebefcae6fd4da35458fefcf
     actual: 7a118105e6c365008af862a184214cfe

I asked the almighty Google, and tried some of its recommendations.
Thus running a svnadmin recover on the repository gives this:

Repository lock acquired.
Please wait; recovering the repository may take some time...
 
Recovery completed.
The latest repos revision is 116.

This looks fine, except it doesn't change much.
When I committed my changes yesterday, I didn't get error messages,
and the revision bumped 1 up, as expected. Although the svn status did
show a few !-marks...

I have a cron job that takes a full dump of the repo every night (only
a few MB's), and I can see that the last successful dump was the 26.
of april, and the rest of the dumps are only few bytes long. This
kinda sucks, since the thesis is due in less than a month - don't
really need to learn too much about versioning tools right now. :-)

Does anybody have hints to how I restore the sanity in my repo? Or
should I just throw it out, load the last backup and commit my local
changes? I won't miss any work, but lose the history of the last week
or so.

Thanks.

Cheers,
Kenneth
