RE: malformed file problem -- version 1.5.7

No idea, sorry. But:

Try svnadmin dump with the -r parameter to dump just the revisions you
want to keep, then svnadmin load to load them into a new repository.
Any checkouts of r11529 or earlier should be OK; if you have a later
checkout then you'll need to delete it and re-checkout.

Hand-editing the repository sounds like a bad idea*... you might get rid
of this corruption but introduce a different corruption.
Using dump/load should give you a valid repository.

Kind regards,

Jon

Thank you, Jon, for the info.

Before I do such a major rollback, is there a way to rollback a particular
project within the repos without affecting other projects or, to be more
concise, maintain revision numbers for the other projects that are not
affected by the mal-formed file error?

Thanks again for your help.
