I don't know the exact details, but you might get in this situation when the
so called 'wc-props' or as we call them in WC-NG 'dav properties' are out of
sync with the http/https based repository. These values are cached in
.svn/all-wcprops.
The expected checksum verified on a commit is the checksum of the local
(BASE) version compared to the HEAD revision in the repository. Most likely
the local version was an older version of the same file, which didn't get
updated properly because the wcprops were out of sync (So the 'svn update'
step failed for you).
Deleting the all-wcprops file should be safe to resolve these issues. (As
things look now, we recommend running svn cleanup in 1.7 as this cache moves
in the db)
I would never change the checksum in the entries file, as it generally just
makes Subversion think that files are the same while they actually aren't:
Not something I would like to use as the base for a commit that shouldn't
break.
(The checksum in .svn/entries should always match the MD5 of the checksum of
the file in .svn/text-base.. If not there is some serious issue)
