There are two different sorts of corruption: - Filesystem corruption: the filesystem backend (FSFS or BDB) cannot retrieve a particular versioned file/dir or its contents or properties. - Repository corruption: a higher-level invariant --- such as those having to do with svn:* properties, their values, and the contents of the files having those properties --- does not hold. An invalid svn:mergeinfo value is of the second kind. Deleting a byte from a revision file causes corruption of the first kind. (And there is a slight twist here having to do with the minfo-cnt noderev field; but I think that shouldn't be relevant to this thread.) > whether all of the corrupted revisions are caused by the same > client; my main focus is to get the backups up and running again. > Punishing the culprit will be my next focus ;).
