Sending myfile
Transmitting file data .svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: Corrupt node-revision '0-484.0-123.r993/92'
svn: Found malformed header in revision file

So I tried create a dump file:
> svnadmin dump /site/svn/ > dumpsvn
* Dumped revision 0.
...
* Dumped revision 987.
svnadmin: Corrupt representation '988 0 8767 8749
17d4a0cc3e480c0c64dd8107a1854b7f'
svnadmin: Malformed representation header

So it started a long long time ago... :(

> svn --version
svn, version 1.5.1 (r32289)

This the version of svn from ubuntu for whatever version is running on
that machine.

If a dump of the repo doesn't work, what next???
