git svn checksum mismatch
Posted: December 17th, 2010 | Author: Victoria | Filed under: Uncategorized | 2 Comments »When I update suuuuuper old Chromium repositories, I occasionally get that stupid Checksum mismatch from svn. It happens often enough that it's a thing, but uncommonly enough that I forget how to fix it each time. So, FOR PROSPERITY:
Checksum mismatch: trunk/src/chrome/test/functional/search_engines.py 5d1082dfc3e6363ece792d7cd49fde0a7ce9c6df
expected: e88e3ea6349cb44955d58e6a3964824f
got: af58cced63097504e4bfb6574c252f4a
Then proooobably what happens was search_engines.py downloaded wonky or something such that the hash no longer came to be the correct thing. So solution:
See what was the revision number of the last change on the file:
git svn log chrome/test/functional/search_engines.py
Reset svn to be closest parent before that revision:
git svn reset -r62248 -p
Do a git svn fetch!
Dance at your success.
Thank you SO MUCH. There are tons of threads on Google promising solutions, but nothing has worked. This not only works, but has a feasible explanation of what's gone wrong and a solution that actually makes sense.

+1 for a great solution. This is the only thing that's worked for me as well, just like Domenic stated. Big thanks
