SVN Upgrade Project Error ("Insufficient NODES rows for...)

In the last upgrade of our SVN from 1.6 to 1.7 I got the following error trying to upgrade the source folders on my machine using the VisualSVN "Upgrade Working Copy" menu command:

---------------------------

TortoiseSVN
---------------------------
Insufficient NODES rows for 'C:\[YOUR SOURCE PATH HERE]'
Try a 'Cleanup'. If that doesn't work you need to do a fresh checkout.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

to resolve the issue, search your source folder for files named [dir-prop-revert] they will be very small, and only contain a single line with the word "END" in it.
Delete these files and try the menu command again. it should do the trick.
 
*** make sure your search criteria includes hidden files ***

  3. Thanks, but it's not [dir-prop-revert], but "dir-prop-revert"... Made me look for it a minute longer...

  4. I found bad files named *.svn-revert prevent the upgrade as well. Delete them from the file system, do a svn-1.6 cleanup on the working copy, then svn-1.7 upgrade.
