Sir:
Thanks for your reply. I'll read those references you cited.
P.S. Other files may also be missing from the revprops/ dir, not
just 7437 -- If I'm willing to lose commit messages, can I live
without some revprops/ files?
You should recreate the revprops for all revisions.
I have emails messages (from SubversionNotify) containing the commit
comments for six of seven of those revisions. If I can rebuild the
repository with some revprops/ files missing, I can edit the
comments later. Will this work?
Sure, that will work. You'll need to do a manual commit of the changes
made in lost revisions, and then tweak the revision properties after
the
commit is done. See also the 'svnadmin setrevprop' command, which will
help you to set the revision properties (svn:date, svn:author, and
svn:log).

Thank you.
I won't be able to accurately mimic the seven missing changes as most
of them were for binary files (project documentation and some DLLs).
Instead, is there a way to simply say "All future revisions that
depend upon these seven revisions are dead/null" so I can piece the
repo back together with just that minor loss?
Thanks,
