In all my software projects now I use SVN for my source control and although very good most of the time, does have a tendancy to break sometimes.

One of the issues I get sometimes is while updating my working copy from the repository, I get the following errors:

“svn: Checksum mismatch for ‘aaa’; expected: ‘xxxxx’, actual: ‘yyy’”

You can ofcourse just delete your working copy and do another checkout, but this is not always an option for me as some of my code is heavily embedded in my development environment. So I needed another solution.

After searching the internet for sometime I came across this blog post with the following solution:

1. checkout a clean copy to a temporary location
2. for new and your problem checkouts, go to the folder where your svn mismatch error is thrown
3. in that folder, go to .svn folder
4. copy the entries file over from the clean copy
5. svn cleanup on the problem folder
6. svn update

Problem solved!

The Wife and I took my 3 year old daughter to see Disney Princesses on Ice yesterday at the O2 and we had a lovely day. I’ve not been to the O2 before and I found it to be a really good venue, getting there was pretty easy and parking was no problem whatsoever. Although Disney Princesses aren’t really my thing it was well worth the money to see the look on my daughter’s face, she was mesmerized from start to finish.
