AFAIK this means you need to increase the number of DB locks and recover
your database.  Here's what I do:

 cd $SVN_ROOT
 # to keep people from using it while you recover:
 chown root:root $REPOSITORY
 cp -rp $REPOSITORY{,-`date +%Y%m%d`}
 cd $REPOSITORY/db
 # increase values for
 #  * set_lk_max_locks
 #  * set_lk_max_lockers
 #  * set_lk_max_objects
 vi DB_CONFIG
 db_recover -v
 chown $SVN_USER:$SVN_GROUP *
 cd ../..
 chown $SVN_USER:$SVN_GROUP $REPOSITORY

...that's the beauty of writing a package whose primary users are system
administrators. ;)

Hopefully this is what others do, too.

Yours,
John
