title: Getting files out from an SVN backup with "no such revision" error
body: <p>I have a backup of an SVN repository with the following dirs and a readme:</p>
  
  <pre><code>conf  dav  db  format  hooks  locks  README.txt
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm trying to extract the files from it.</p>
  
  <p>If I do <code>svn co file:///path/to/dir/</code> I get:</p>
  
  <pre><code>svn: No such revision 19755
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I run <code>svnadmin verify file:///path/to/dir/</code>, the SVN client runs through verifying all the revisions until I get to:</p>
  
  <pre><code>* Verified revision 1998.
  * Verified revision 1999.
  svnadmin: No such revision 2000
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I do <code>svn log file:///path/to/dir/</code> I get an output of all log entries with no errors, starting at r19755 and counting back to r1.</p>
  
  <p><code>svn export</code> gives me the same as <code>svn co</code>.</p>
  
  <p><code>svn co -r1999 file:///path/to/dir/</code> gives me the <code>svn: No such revision 19755</code> message again.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way I can get a working set of files out from here?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
