It looks like the sysreposlog file stores the 'entity history' records. When things were created, modified, etc.
If you run 'Reset Entity History' from the 'Develop' menu, it basically clears this file completely. My point being . . . if you can live without the entity history - or want to salvage what you can to different file first - you should be able to delete the file and recreate it (just the data portion if that's all that is corrupt). If you then want to copy any saved/salvaged records back into it, you could retain some of the information.
If you rely on the dates for deployment purposes you definitely want to salvage any records you can.
These are just my thoughts for a 'quick' fix - if you really need the data you can spend time with the utilities (dump, fix_lh, etc.). Try to figure out which records have a problem so you can at least access the loss - and save what you can.

It sounds like you are using Rev-G, right?
First things first: Before risking anything else, make a quick copy of the entire application, including its data files if they reside elsewhere. That way you can be a bit more courageous when fixing the files.
If you have a recent full backup, then restore the entire thing (perhaps in a second location) and check for GFE's. If you have incrementals, install the most recent full backup and then restore each incremental in sequence (oldest to newest).
Otherwise you will have to use the dump fix program. I have never used it with .lnk files. Perhaps post a request for help in the Arev section.
