There is quicker and wicked way to do it at least the way I did it, I am
not sure if the approach was right or wrong but this will only work if you
have backup of repository at some point which is not corrupted just go to
the db directory of repository copy that revision and past it in your
corrupted repository but as I said this is hack and not a clean approach but
worked for me, I am not recommending it to anyone to try it at your own
risk, that was a last resort for me and worked.
