It did. I got the error:
svnadmin: Can't set position pointer in file 'db\revs\110': An attempt was
made
to move the file pointer before the beginning of the file.
I don't necessarily need to recover the deltas from that transaction. I
need to have a valid repository. Also, I need the current files to be
correctly stored in the repository. It is likely that most of that revision
has been subsumed by new commits anyway, but I don't know how to make the
repository whole again.
Any help would be appreciated. In the mean time, I'm trying to get my hands
on those offsite backups which will (hopefully) contain the revision in
uncorrupted form.
