Additionally, I had checked out a few files from the repository on an old machine, and then I moved the repository to a new server. I didnot do a dump and move, just did a tar and scp and untar of the entire repository. When I try to check in to the new server [with the same hostname] it says * svn: Commit failed (details follow): svn: Server sent unexpected return value (500 Internal Server Error) in response to MKACTIVITY request for '/repos/papers/!svn/act/* *a49a699c-96a7-11df-9e8f-**654930a0ec4e'*
