Re: Trying to Fix Corrupt Revision File

Well, except for some bad checksums, we have been very happy with
Subversion. Of course, we may have corrupt data somewhere, but
nothing that we have noticed. In over 7200 commits with a 6 GB
repository, I had about 10 bad checksums during my dump/load
sequence. That is a 0.14% error rate. And with that, there may
still not be any data corruption. Since we were using old hardware
and software, I can only hope that we will not see this issue again.

By the way, I did get past the bad checksum. It turns out, I was
converting the checksum to hex 00's instead of ASCII "0"s (hex 30).
Once I realized that, the particular revision was dumped without
"error".

Thanks,
Brian
