This may or may not work. Because you did an incremental dump at revision
64, the base that those diffs assume is the repository at revision 63.
So changes to those files may not apply cleanly to the copy of the file
that existed at revision 62.
Did you try to dump or svnadmin verify the new repository. It may work if the
changes are small enough in rev 63 or just happen to work out that the
diffs still apply, but you might want to check rev 64 to make sure it is clean.
You could try this
svnadmin dump repo -r1:62 --incremental > repo_1to62.dmp
svnadmin dump repo -r65:157 --incremental > repo_65to157.dmp
// get a working copy that was valid from a revision after 63 and
// reverse merge back to 64 - call this wc64
// Rename repo to something else.
svnadmin create repo
svnadmin load repo < repo_1to62.dmp
// check out the repo, then copy over changes from wc64
svn commit -m "Bridge gap" wc64
svnadmin load repo < repo_65to157.dmp
This way you don't have any holes. I doubt you could do a non-incremental
dump b/c of the corruption. But if you are not having any problems, you
may have been lucky enough that revision 63 was small or happened to be
something that caused no problems.
