I have also had some database issues while testing Subversion 1.06, but
I found that svnadmin recover seemed to do the trick. I would rather
know about problems, then not know about them (i.e. CVS), but
considering the treatment of the problem is always the same, the 'warm
fuzzy feeling' one gets could be improved if Subversion automatically
tried a svnadmin recover, or a DB recovery, or a dump and load, where
necessary.
Are these problems with BDB related to the OS X / BSD platform only?
Just wondering if BDB is rock solid on other platforms. I haven't
looked into Subversion's proposed FSFS, but I'm sure there will be a
few questions asked about atomic commits and journalling, especially
given the different native file systems out there. If users move to a
FSFS (where the files can be viewed ala CVS) instead of using BDB, then
it seems Subversion has come full circle given that Subversion actually
argues in favour of a database back-end rather than a file store. Of
course, a database is really just a bunch of files ;-) but you know
what I mean...

I have seen this happen, as well, and I know that some folks are

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 :).
Though this is IMO much better - as far as I know - it's still a
binary format. Personally I don't get these warm fuzzy feelings about
subversion just yet.
