Sorry, looks like I jumped the gun on posting this, the rest of my
question follows:

Hello All,

I'm trying to migrate a subversion repository from a linux system to a
windows system using svnadmin dump and svnadmin load. Unfortunately,
when I get to a particular revision I get the following error:

svnadmin: Checksum mismatch while reading representation:

expected: 5a61669a554808ffb94c0542b79a6d5f

actual: 5a55203a7809f159b4271a4dcec97684

I came across this on the web:

http://ilovett.com/blog/programming/subversion-checksum-error

which describes a similar error and recommends manually repairing the
database. One of the commands is:

db_dump -kp representations > representations.dump

which is to be executed within the db directory of the pertinent
repository. However, my repository does not have a "representations"
directory or file. Perhaps my repository is using a different database
(i.e. not Berkeley)? Any other suggestions as to how to migrate the
repository?

Thanks in advance,
