One of our users got this message about two weeks ago. I ran svnadmin
verify and found a corrupted revision. This doesn't make sense, but
fsfsverify fixed the problem. I don't see how that error could be caused
by that, but the user could commit afterwards. She was committing a very
large 7MB file. Maybe this was just coincidence?

We've hit the fsfs corruption bug five times in the last two months, so
it is fairly frequent. The error indication in other cases was the "read
length line" error.
