Comment (by mgood):

 I've tried the steps that you described both with an FSFS repository and
 with BDB and have been unable to reproduce the problem, so I don't have
 much information to go on to help you out.

 I'm not sure I understand your comment about being unable to convert the
 repository format due to other people using the database.  The Subversion
 repository is stored internally, and will only ever be accessed through an
 svn client or server, either which will be able to handle either storage
 backend just fine.  The whole process should only take a few minutes.
 Here are instructions on [http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2005-
 02/0557.shtml converting bdb to fsfs] if you need them.

 What you may want to do is to leave your existing repository intact, but
 make a copy of it that uses FSFS and see if the problems still occur.
 This way you won't interrupt the use of your repository, but will be able
 to experiment and see if FSFS alleviates the issues.  Simply follow the
 first 2 steps to create the new FSFS repository and import the existing
 data into it, then create a Trac project that uses this new copy of the
 repository.
