This is what I found on the web on this message. However, the commit was performed using client and server >= 1.6.4, and a modified svnadmin (reporting the numbers checked along with the error message) clearly shows some kind of overflow: The reported numbers are unstable, and flip between positive and negative values. Testing with 1.6.3, which has the security error, seems not very appealing: First, I think that the error should have been reported on commit, not on checkout. Moreover, it's quite unlikely that 1.6.3 will be able to handle the revision file correctly - it's much more likely that the revision will trigger the security error. I'm afraid the commit just got corrupted somehow - is there a way to remove/replace it in the repository? Regards, Martin
