At the shallow level, the message should be clear: there is an actual
checksum for a file and an expected checksum, and they differ. They
shouldn't differ.

Somewhat deeper, this indicates a bug in Subversion. It's not clear
to me whether this is a client or a server bug. In the version on
svn.python.org, the error message is on line 2846, so I would suspect
it is a client bug.

The natural question then is: what operating system, what subversion
version are you using?
