Things are back to normal. I cat svnroot/db/format and saw the line 'logical addressing' in the text file. I edited out that line and put mode back to 444. After that I was able to 'dump' and successfully 'load' a new database I created with svnadmin create.
What put the 'logical addressing' in the db/format file? I do svn operations from within emacs so I ran svn-status-version. This is what I found: psvn.el revision: 2012-03-26, 21:23:49 svn, version 1.9.1 (r1698128) compiled Sep 20 2015, 14:17:40 on i686-pc-cygwin psvn.el is old compared to the actual svn version. Could that explain how my repository got 'logical addressing' inserted into db/format file? I was also able to use emacs to check in and update my repository afterward.

I copied my repository to a backup to test things.

I looked at http://svnbook.red-bean.com/ but this appears out of date no mention of 1.9 version.
