Hi David,
thanks for the report; the issue turned out to be quite serious.
The underlying bug has been present since at least as early as
1.8.0 but only surfaced with the added SHA1-collision detection
code in 1.8.18.
Under certain circumstances, yet-to-be-committed data would be
cached under the wrong key. The impact ranges from bogus errors
as you experienced them to silent repository corruption that only
a 'svnadmin verify' run would detect. So far, no such corruption
has been demonstrated but it remains a plausible scenario.
Luckily, the problem seems to be mostly restricted to 'svnadmin
load', with the "rep sharing" enable for the respective repo.
'svnadmin load -M 0' will also not have that issue.
I fixed the code and the fix should be shipped with the upcoming
1.8.19 release.
