Hi all,
Today I found a situation where the "expected" checksum value from a checksum mismatch error message was not in the .svn/entries file. However, there was a third and completely different value instead (-it did not match the "actual" checksum value either). When I replaced that "third" checksum value in the .svn/entries file with the "actual" value, I still received a checksum error.
(Usually, if nothing is obviously wrong with the file that is generating the checksum error on commit, then I replace the 'expected' checksum value in the .svn/entries file with the 'actual' checksum value from the error message output. I save these changes to .svn/entries and commit to the offending file without error... I am referring to the .svn folder that resides in the same folder as the file that generated the checksum error on commit.)
This did not work today. The fix that finally did work:
1. I checked out a working copy (that included the offending file) onto my desktop. I added a comment to the offending file and committed my change.
2. The developer that was seeing the Checksum error message was able to update to get my changes, delete my changes and successfully commit this.
3. When he tried to add the actual edits he wanted back into that file , the same checksum error returned on commit.
4. So I added the developers (uncommitted) changes in my working copy, and I committed without error.
5. The developer was then able to update to get the file as he wanted it.
We have 1.6.9 on our servers.
And 1.6.7 as our TortoiseSVN clients.
The file was a txt file with extension .exe.config and was 9K in size.
He was using Visual Studio 2008 to edit the file, I used Notepad++.
Does anyone know what can cause this type of checksum error?
Can we prevent it somehow?
Why did the "expected" and "actual" checksum values in the error message output *not* match the "third" Checksum value in the .svn/entries file?
Thank you,
Krista
