The immediate reason is that svn_fs_fs__list_transactions() only lists
db/transactions/*.txn, but I don't know offhand why db/transactions/24247-ixo.txn/
wouldn't exist in your case.

I'm not sure.

A quick look into svn_fs_fs__hotcopy() suggests 'svnadmin hotcopy'
doesn't copy transactions/ and txn-revprops/. If that's right, deleting
the files _while mod_dav_svn/svnserve aren't running_ should be safe.

The relevant internal documentation is in subversion/libsvn_fs_fs/structure.

Sorry for not having a more definite answer. I have worked on FSFS before,
but nevertheless am not familiar with the commit-in-progress codepaths.

Cheers,
