$ svn info svn://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/alt@2358
svn: Can't read length line in file '/var/svnroot/proj/alt/db/revprops/2358'

The file is dead on egret as well.

All I can suggest is finding the original commit and recreating it.

pelican ~ # cat /var/svnroot/proj/alt/db/revprops/2358 | wc                    
      0       0     152
egret ~ # cat /var/www/overlays.gentoo.org/svn/proj/alt/db/revprops/2358 | wc
      0       0     152

152 nulls is the only content.

jokey: I haven't heard back from you. That file has no content that I can find. So I'm not sure what we can do.

I thought we were going to be totally stumped on this, but haubi pointed out
that the data WAS captured by Trac, so we could use that to recreate the file.

I had to guess at the 6 digits of fractional seconds, I just stuck them as
zeros for now. Nearly had to bruteforce 10^6 MD5s as well, but SVN made a dumb
design decision that made that unneeded.
