If db_recover can't recover your database, or it does and the database

be screwed. I've lost several BDB databases because the Mac froze
after a Subversion commit, and the database had only been partially
saved to disk. (For some reason BDB does that. I wish it didn't.) I
hope you've been running regular backups...
I have seen this happen, as well, and I know that some folks are
hesitant to move to subversion because the repository is far from human
readable in that it is a BDB blob.
Subversion 1.1 has an fsfs backing store. That is, a pure filesystem
based backing store. It is actually quite responsive. 1.1 should be
out "soon" (hopefully soon being sooner than the "soon" that was used
to describe the SVN 1.1 rc releases, what, 1 year before the actual
release :).
