Repository became corrupt on commit

Hi,

Yesterday one of our repositories became corrupt when someone
committed a simple text file.

In the end we deleted the file and re-added it and it has been fine
since then. We are using SVN 1.9.3 on the server. This is one of many
repositories and the first time we have encountered such a situation.

A verify showed this error:

* Error verifying revision 728.
svnadmin: E160013: Filesystem path 'trunk/scripts/script.py' is
neither a file nor a directory

The content of that file is what had replaced what used to be the
trunk folder. When in that state it was not possible to checkout the
repository or browse its contents (i.e. it was corrupt). We could see
the log messages for the level above trunk but still could not check
it out.

Now that we have deleted then re-committed exactly the same file, the
repository is back to normal and it seems like an unreproducable bug
at this stage.

Is this a known issue?

Regards,
Alan
