I've started a reload on another system to test this. It is a slow
operation and will take awhile as the repository is at ~90,000
revisions. To recover in the short term, I rsync'd the repository to the
mirror, which worked fine.

I built a list of the mismatched revs between the 'good' and 'corrupt'
repositories. You can
download a tarball with these from here:

I appreciate the assistance in getting to the bottom of this.
