Grex Coop Item 308: Pristine copy of the old website prior to SVN?
Entered by veek on Sat Jan 29 13:30:08 UTC 2011:

I've been trying to find a pristine copy of the old web-site prior to 
SVN. Someone suggested some weeks ago that I might find it in SVN so I 
copied the whole repo out and took a look. It's quite weird:

starts at revision-2 - 1 file; revision-50 - 2 files; -r 100 nothing 
(total 2 files); -r-140 (3 files) -r-200 one file; -r 550 - 1 file.. -r 
640 one file.. about this point there are a grand total of 8 files..

I used the following command:
svn co file:///root/junk/delete/var/svn/trunk/grex/web -r 640 
I verified the repo like so:
svnadmin verify /root/junk/delete/var/svn/

around 690 i started getting more files.. (staffnotes)

I'm confused: surely the old website should have been checked in at 
revision 1? Or, maybe staff wanted to start over with a clean slate in 
SVN.. in which case, where can I find the backup of the final-old
website  before it got incorporated into SVN??

See garage item 37.  That might explain some of what you are seeing.
