Corruption of Repo

From: <cedric.rouvrais_at_sgcib.com>

Hi Guys,

I have a corrupted repository due to a file system crash. The file 2543
located in the 'revs' folder now has a zero size to it, latest revision of
the projet being 2575 ... I have been unable to fix the repo and svnadmin
restore says all is fine (which isn't the case because people can't commit
any more). The hotcopy works fine, except that the file is still zero in
size (normal IMO!!!), however, as expected, the dump in incremental mode
doesn't work.

Murphy's law being applied, of course the last backup of the repository is
.... 2542 !!!! So what I did do is restore the backup and ask the
developper to commit 2543 containing the exact files he commited with the
exact log. I haven't been able to recover the commits beyond 2543, that is
to say 2544 and plus.

Does anybody have an idea as to how do I get the commits beyond 2544 and
why svnadmin restore doesn't say that my repo is corrupted?

Thanks in advance,

Cédric.
