The .svn/pristine/ dir might contain cached fulltexts of files at
revisions older than HEAD. rep-cache.db maps checksums of fulltexts to
the revision in which that fulltext first appeared. By combining these
two you might be able to fill specific files from the missing revisions.
Since newer revisions are stored against deltas against older revisions,
and since deltas cannot be applied in reverse, you won't be able to
derive versions of files in revisions you don't have from .svn/pristine/
caches of files in revisions whose rev files you do have.
(More accurately: deltas cannot be *completely* applied in reverse; it's
possible to apply a delta in reverse if not obtaining all bytes of the
original file is an acceptable result.)
