RE: Error: Cannot modify transaction named '3p' in filesystem

I could be leading you in the wrong direction here - but have you
checked the unix permissions of your repository
(/var/lib/subversion/myproject)?

The wrong owner/permissions may have been assigned if you did something
like svnadmin recover as a different user (eg. root).

Hope that helps,

Chris.

Seriously, no one knows what this error is and how to fix it?
