Hm, svn 1.4 is actually not supported anymore (meaning there won't be any 1.4.x releases anymore). Of course some people on this list may be able to still help you, but I suggest that you upgrade your server as soon as you can (but maybe that's what you're doing now actually). I don't really know what you can/should do with this error. But, pragmatically, I'd try to simply add a trailing newline to that particular revision file and see if it helps (of course make a backup copy of that rev file first). If that doesn't help, maybe the tool fsfsverify can help fix the revision file (it seems to be able to handle/fix some forms of rev file corruption). Google will help you find it. HTH, Johan
