Sorry for the subversion question…but it seems many of the  
subversion groups are not very active. I have a RoR app I have been  
working on and now when I attempt to commit I am getting this error:

svn: Reference to non-existent node ‘4l.0.r10/41’ in filesystem ‘/tmp/  
svnroot/myapp/db’

I have tried svnadmin recover as well as the db\_recover command for  
BerkelyDB, but not dice, the error keeps appearing. Is there a way I  
can just get rid of any reference to the “41” revision?

Not sure what SVN groups you’ve been looking at but, based on the  
traffic I  
get, removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid is very active.
