A few times already, I got into situations where one of my SVN repository got corrupt and we could do anything with some versions or branches of the project without really knowing what we did. So I'm asking what can cause a repository to become corrupt?
It seems that incompatibilities between clients may cause problems, more specifically with character sets.

SVN stands for Subversion. So, SVN and Subversion are the same. SVN is used to manage and track changes to code and assets across projects.
A Subversion repository — abbreviated SVN repository — is a database filled with your code, files, and other project assets. A SVN repository maintains a complete history of every change ever made.
SVN Installation To check whether it is installed or not use following command. If Subversion client is not installed, then command will report error, otherwise it will display the version of the installed software. If you are using RPM-based GNU/Linux, then use yum command for installation.
There are basically three distinct cases:
Faulty hardware is usually the most difficult to spot, except in the most obvious cases. Case 2 is preventable by limiting login access to the server. Everything else is a bug in Subversion. (This includes compatibility issues between client and the server.) You should never be able to corrupt the repository just by using a Subversion client (not even when there is a bug in the client, IMO).

Potential filesystem corruption or someone mucking around with the internal svn directories?
