the following
1) svn version
2) OS
3) access method used(http, svn, file)

Subject: Missing rev file
I've seen a handful of posts around the web regarding this issue, but
I've yet to find anyone who has successfully conquered it. I'm hoping I
can find such a brilliant mind here.
One of the revisions in my repository is missing. It's revision 2521,
to be exact. And by "missing," I mean that the db\revs\2521 file
flat-out doesn't exist. Why? I don't know, and I've taken steps to
make sure it doesn't happen again, but I'm still left with this one
missing revision. This is causing a handful of problems, none of which
are affecting our usage of the repository, but all of which I'd like
resolved.
I don't care too much about recovering the contents of this revision. I
know more or less what was in there, and I have copies of that data I
can commit again if need be. What I do care about is cleaning up the
problem so I can produce a clean backup of the repository. As it stands
now, a dump fails at 2521, for obvious reasons.
I've tried "spoofing" the revision by copying other rev files and
modifying them to look like 2521. By doing this, I can get a dump (and
a verify) to proceed past 2521, but it always fails later on down the
line, presumably on a revision that depends on 2521.
Is there any way at all to trick SVN into thinking that revision exists
so I can dump the entire repository? Again, I don't care one bit if the
data is valid; I just want the dump to complete. Because the revision
doesn't exist at all, excellent tools such as fsfsverify won't help me.
Any and all insight will be appreciated.
Much Thanks,
Michael
