Malformed header in revision file (was: Re: SVN -nEW ERROR: uRJENT)

[Note: I changed the subject because
 - everything here is by definition SVN related
 - 'new error' is meaningless
 - 'urjgent' (urgent?) is even rude, considering people do this here for free.

It would be interesting to know exactly what you are doing, i.e. the "svn ..."
commands you are issuing. However, it seems that there is a corrupted file in
the repository. Your best choice would be to restore the repository from
backup . However, save this repository, you might want to extract further
data from it, in particular you might want to dump the latest revisions which
weren't backed up yet. Maybe you could even restore just that file from
backup, but make sure you are trying things on a copy in order to not cause
more damage.
