I can only speculate about what issue might require undoing svnadmin pack, but I feel prompted to note the following: Be careful here. Alone due to the effects of representation sharing, and certainly others, there is no guarantee that single revision files are portable between different incarnations of the same revision history. The only portable format/protocols are the dump serialization and the client protocol.
