borg crashes when segment file corrupted, proposed correction about borg HOT 2 CLOSED

I didn't verify that code (I could, but only if you show a DIFF), but IOError means that it is an error below borg:

• hardware malfunctioning / defect
• fs corrupted

So the real fix is to find and fix the root cause. Just deleting the corrupt files might be not enough.

Thanks for the comment. The error happened during backup from client to server over ssh, because closing file by borg and by disconnected network was not in sync. So it was low-level error, but caused by cutting off borg backup. There was no other way how to find defective segments than that modification in repository.py. For that reason, it may be useful.

You may not want to add it to official code, this is just debug help, but it may be useful to others if they encounter similar error.
