Is this the original error text? I couldn't find it anywhere in the
source code.

Note: before using any of the two next options, please make a full
backup of your repository!

There are two options. The safest is to move files $REPO/db/revs/934 and
$REPO/db/revprops/934 somewhere aside. If your working copy is up to
date up till 933, you should be able to commit. Note: obviously this
only works if you can redo the changes committed in r934.

The alternate method is to backup the $REPO/db/current file and replace
it with $REPO/db/current.tmp. Here I'm assuming that the only thing
failing was to move the current.tmp file in place. The big risk here is
that revision file 934 is corrupt, so check it thoroughly!

If possible, better use the first option.

So are you using apache to serve the repository? If so, can you check in
the error.log file if there was something that indicates an error while
committing r934?
