RE: Subversion encountered a serious problem - during svn update

Thanks Daniel. Please verify:

- call fsfsverify.py with no flags set for every single revision
iteratively?

>>> fsfsverify.py [repo]/db/revs/[?]/[?]

What kind of output to expect? Is a verbose process or can I just watch for
any output?

If corruption is found from output, do I run on single revision with -f flag
or reply to thread with results? What are other flags (can't find
documentation and may be missing something obvious)?

Thanks again.

Just write a loop in some language that does

        for (i = 0; i <= HEAD; i++)
                call(fsfsverify, i);
