The server and client are running version 1.6.6.

The server is running CentOS, client is Mac with the commandline client.

The command was as expected:
svn checkout https://my_url

Subject: Strange meta-data problem when checking out

Hi,

when I try a fresh checkout from a shared repository I get
the following error message:
svn: In directory 'prospectus'
svn: Can't open file
'prospectus/.svn/tmp/text-base/prospectus.tex.svn-
base': No such file or directory

A friend also tried a fresh checkout and got the same error.

I tried 'svnadmin verify' on the repository and it verifies
all revisions. I looked at the files stored in that offending
directory via svnlook to see if someone tried to add the
meta-data from .svn to the repository somehow, but did not
see anything that shouldn't be there (i.e. only the files we
need, no meta-data).

I tried google for some hints on what causes this problem and
how to fix it, but didn't find much that is promising. If at
all possible I'd like to avoid restoring a backup, and since
all revisions verify, I wouldn't now which revisions to dump
to repair the problem.

Any ideas?

What is the exact command? What is the SVN version? OS?
