svn: database disk image is malformed

Hello,

I see here a strange behavior of subversion:

I have a local modification:

$ svn diff
Index: README
===================================================================
--- README (revision 929)
+++ README (working copy)
@@ -10,3 +10,4 @@
   Contains project administration documents for the project like the project
plan
 - att
   att traces
+
$

I try to commit the change

$ svn commit -m "minor change"
Sending README
Transmitting file data .svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: database disk image is malformed
svn: database disk image is malformed
$

And get an error back.

$ svn diff
Index: README
===================================================================
--- README (revision 929)
+++ README (working copy)
@@ -10,3 +10,4 @@

plan
 - att
   att traces
+
$

But the repository has the change(!), and I can update

$ svn update
G README
Updated to revision 930.
$

Then my local diff is gone

$ svn diff
$

I found several posts discussing the

        svn: database disk image is malformed

issue. The best solution is saw is to dump the repository and create a new one
from the dump.

Is there an easier way to fix the problem in a robust manner? Does maybe even
svn provide some fix scripts?

Thanks,
Rainer
