Do you know what the contents of that file should be? (And do those
contents match either of the checksums?)
If you can't get the contents, then make a copy of your repository,
find the checksum in the db/representations representations table and
edit it from
55b7db82c802ce6418b983e6ac27516c
to
00000000000000000000000000000000
Then try again (using the copy, of course). The all-zeros checksum
always matches in Subversion.

Nah, it's a case for finding & fixing the cause of the problem :-).

Oh, well, thanks, that's reassuring in a way... How can you work on a
machine that randomly changes bits, man? :-)
