Hello Zsolt,
Both repository/format and repository/db/format files should exists. Make
sure repository you're accessing is of 'fsfs' type, not 'bdb' (see
repository/db/fs-type file) - JavaSVN only supports those of 'fsfs' type.
> How can I fix the problem?
If the problem is in repository type, you may use "svnadmin dump/load"
commands to convert repository to another type. Also try running "svnadmin
verify" command to check that repository is not damaged.
