That looks like issue 4554

https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/SVN/issues/SVN-4554

Editing the file is unlikely to work. Later revisons refer to data in
earlier revisions via a byte offset into the earlier file. When you
edit "0" to "48" you have changed the byte offset of all the data beyond
the edit and that breaks the references in all the later files. You
would need to identify all the affected offsets in later files and
modify them, which in turn may lead to more offset changes. You may
need to recompute some checksums as well.
