E160013 is SVN_ERR_FS_CORRUPT, but this message is a new one.

Can you share the output of
.
    % dump-noderev.pl ${REPO_DIR} /trunk/scripts/script.py 728
.
where dump-noderev.pl is [1]? The output should be just a few rfc822-like
headers specifying the offset and checksum of the file contents representation
("rep"). One of the headers should be "type: file".

Sorry, I don't follow. Can you explain again what the contents of the
file is and what's its significance? Has the server been restarted
between the two commit attempts? Is it svnserve (in which mode,
-i/-t/-d/-T/service) or mod_dav_svn (which MPM)?

Cheers,

Daniel
