Hi Andreas,
Thanks.
I think such recovery tools should be there. Probably not as part of
'svnadmin' but at least in contrib. The FSFS verify helped me. I will post
the script I used to my website. I am not sure if the attachments are
allowed in this list. If allowed, I will post here as well.
I am a reasonably good python developer. However I don't know much about
svn internals. So if someone is interested in writing such tool, I am
willing to contribute.
Regards,
Nitin
