Hello Res,

Here's a guess. It looks like part of your repository at R42710 (maybe in
one of the projects you don't care about) has a file that was last changed
at R42708. Since you're not backing up R42708, that file isn't going to be
retrievable: you'll have the delta at R42710, but you won't have the base
file you need.

I don't know whether you'll be able to retrieve the project you need,
because you can't know from this which specific files are affected.

Maybe if you take a complete dump and then use svndumpfilter you can do what
you want. In any case then, you'd at least have a complete dump to recover
from if your work goes bad for some reason.

Erik
