I think deleting your repository and
rebuilding it from Savannah is the next 
thing to try.  It only takes 20 mins or 
so, and I don't know what else you can
do.

I don't see the connection of a faulty
repo with some of your errors, but this
problem with reset and your earlier one
with validate seem to suggest a screwed 
repo.
