Repository left in unusable state?

Hi all,

This afternoon I ran out of disk space during a big commit (>100 MB worth of
binary files).

I have cleared out plenty of disk space now on the server, but it seems that
the affected FSFS repository is left in a weird state. Whenever I try to do
even small commits, I get the following:

=====

$ svn commit build-all.sh -m "Added build-all.sh script."
Adding build-all.sh
Transmitting file data .svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: Cannot write to the prototype revision file of transaction '53-1'
because a previous representation is currently being written by this process

=====

Plase note that this is a rather unhelpful message - perhaps understandable
to the developer who wrote the code that emits it, but not to a user such as
myself. What is "a representation" ? What is "this process", here? I get no
indication on how to solve the problem.

Second, I'd like to get my repository back in a working state. I tried the
usual suspects; "svn cleanup", "svnadmin recover"; I looked for stale locks
and transactions (none). Still, no luck.

Does anybody have any ideas?

Best regards,

  Sidney
