Aha, that must be the missing piece. I will likely have to reconstruct
most of those files from scratch; I do however have some of them
(without filenames --- pity that there is no indication of the
applicable revision number in the file itself).

I'm trying to do the recovery with a subversion binary that I've
compiled from the development source tree because my understanding is
that there is an algorithm to recover the current file in the prerelease
subversion 1.5 (that is not in 1.4.3). The repository was created with
svn 1.3.
