Fixing svn checksum mismatch

November 3, 2010

All the info I found addressing this contains way too much cruft and doesn't present the actual solution clearly. Here are steps that will work, so you can get back to coding:
<ol><li>Copy the file away</li><li>svn revert FILENAME (in case you have local changes)
</li><li>svn rm FILENAME</li><li>svn ci -m "Fixing checksum mismatch"</li><li>Copy the file back</li><li>svn add FILENAME</li><li>svn ci -m "Fixed checksum mismatch"</li></ol>There you go. No more headache.
