The presence of these extraneous files does cause the 4043 error: svn1.6 co file://`pwd`/repo wc echo END > wc/.svn/prop-base/f.svn-revert svn1.7 upgrade wc svn: E155016: Insufficient NODES rows for '/home/pm/sw/subversion/obj/wc/.svn/tmp/wcng/f' > - Following from the previous question: is this a real 1.6 corruption > that can't be upgraded, or is this a legitimate 1.6-situation, one > which the 1.7 upgrade should/could support?
