"Checksum mismatch -- will transfer entire file"

I was not going to reply on this thread at all, but the amount of
random speculation has now reached a pathological level.

The spurious new line at the end of a file has nothing to do with svn,
it is an artifact of how the file was originally transferred to the
cvsup mirror. The checksum mismatch will be triggered a few different
ways, the most common is to switch between cvsup and csup, and/or
switching mirrors for the same checked out tree.

The message is harmless, it's not an error, and in fact you can take
the message as a reassuring sign that the system is working exactly as
designed.  :)


Now let's move on,

Doug
