The ITEM_STATE row with itemId...contained an item that references the predecessor state

repotools -verify generates the following error:
2.0.0.2 ifix8
MS SQL
Verifying items present in the "com.ibm.team.repository.systemtables" component.
The ITEM_STATE row with itemId = [UUID _nrDvMff4Ed-UIO1NxV0MOw], keyId = [UUID _n0xE0Pf4Ed-UIO1NxV0MOw], and itemType = com.ibm.team.repository#RepositoryRoot contained an item that references the predecessor state [UUID _ntBeEPf4Ed-UIO1NxV0MOw], but that state could not be found in the DB. There are no states older than this state, so the history seems to have been truncated.
What does it mean? How can I fix it?2.0.0.2 ifix8
