Was the change recent enough that the people who committed 1.3 and the
first 1.4 may remember anything useful, such as whether either commit
was forced, whether there were any errors or warnings, and so on?
Other than what you've mentioned, was there anything else unusual about
the file? In your original message, you predicted what the file probably
looked like. How close was your prediction to the actual?

Not I.
What is the likelihood that someone manually modified the ,v file?
Out of curiosity, does the validate_repo script pick up the original
corruption?
