cvs repository corruption (gnus-uu.el,v)

[Reiner Steib <reinersteib+gmane@imap.cc>]

Hi,

here's Andreas' analysis (translated from German; Andreas, please
correct me if necessary):

| Several revisions are missing:
| 
| $ grep -E '^[0-9.]+$' gnus-uu.el,v | sort | uniq -u | wc -l
| 44
| 
| These delta sections are listed, but the delta text sections, i.e. the
| log messages and the actual diffs, are missing.
| 
| The first missing revision is 2.30 dated 1997-03-04 08:21:10, the
| newest 4.19 dated 1998-08-28 07:30:21.  In between, some revisions are
| present: 3.5 - 3.21.

Then, I asked if it is possible to replace the missing revisions by
dummy entries.  Andreas wrote that its possible, but it won't work out
since the actual diffs are missing so that it's not possible to check
out any revision before the missing ones.

-> gnus-uu-AS-1-dummy-log-entries.el,v.gz in [1].

Later Andreas wrote (again translated from German):

| Here's an alternative where all revisions before 5.2 are deleted
| (5.1. is already corrupted).  I.e. with this change, the file won't
| exist before this revision.

-> gnus-uu-AS-2-deleted-everthing-before-5-2.el,v in [1].

I'm not sure how to proceed.

Bye, Reiner.
