That was 14/15 Aug 2017, and all the SVN revision data up to r251080 were restored from backup within 24 hours or so. I found no signs of damage to revisions from the 24 hours or so between r251080 and the time of the corruption when I examined diffs for all those revisions by hand at that time. (If anyone rsynced corrupted old revisions from the repository during the window of corruption, those corrupted old revisions might remain in their rsynced repository copy because the restoration preserved file times and size, just fixing corrupted contents.) -- Joseph S.
