I'm not sure how to duplicate the problem in a test repository, since  
I don't know why or how it happened in the first place. Do you have  
any advice for how I can:

a. verify that my hardware is not the problem? I don't want to waste  
your time if the problem is with my hardware. FWIW, I used the OS X  
Disk Utility application to verify the disk where my repository is  
located, and it did not report any problems.

b. send you a subset of my live repository that would give you what  
you need? (I suspect that you don't want all 100+ GB, and I would  
have no way of getting that much data to you anyway)

I'll do everything I can to give you what you need to troubleshoot  
the issue. Thanks a lot for your interest/help.
