No, the SVN command line tool does not use COM.

Any idea what commands you called it with? There's not much anyone
can do to help without that info.
Calling svn with a non-existent command shouldn't be able to hurt
your repository, and there shouldn't be any way to hose a repository
through the svn command even if you pass garbage to an existing
command. You might be able to screw it up if you pass garbage to an
svnadmin command but even that should be fairly safe. Of course, I'm
sure you're working from a backup of the repository, so your best bet
is probably just to fix the problems in your conversion script and
start over again.
I'd suggest having your conversion script operate on a dump of the
Subversion repository, rather than manipulating the repository itself
(that's a much easier way to get at all of the data in a
repository). If the repository is too big for a single dump to be
wieldy, you can use --incremental to get successive dumps of revision
ranges.
