Ok, current status: I believe that I've repaired the repository,
linux.devel.repostory.  At this point all of the files verify either
against the restore or against the checked-out version.  So, I
_beleive_ that it is ok.

Right now I'm trying to verify the 5.2 checkout.  I already found a
few problems.  Right now, however, I'm comparing all files older than
1/19 against the restore, and I'll check the rest for NULs.  Luckily
everything in the 5.2 tree can be recovered, as it is really just a
build tree.

I'll send out further updates when I can.
