And this gets:
svn: Expected version '3' of repository; found version '4'

Waaaayy too much trouble to go through all that, trying to figure out
what subversion has done and trick it into doing the right thing. This
is why I stopped using subversion about a year ago. (I came back to it
because CVS sucks, and Arch creates
files-with-stupid-long-filenames-that-have-weird-stuff-in-them.)
I'm not that keen on Berkeley DB files, particularly when they can't be
used on a LAN interface. Thanks for the suggestion on fsfs. I think it's
probably best to obliterate the whole thing and restart it with fsfs.
This isn't earth-shattering software I'm doing, and I'm the only one
working on it. So if I lose history, the world won't end.
