There is nothing wrong with your repository, in fact.  The -r option
does not do what you think it does; take a look at the description of
pegged revisions in the SVN book.

That's true.  It's trying to look for /abcd/abcd/ on HEAD, and look at
revision 30 of _that object_, wherever it may have been at revision 30.
If you want the object that was at /abcd/abcd/ in revision 30, try
"svk ls /abcd/abcd/@30" instead.
