How to solve “svn: Checksum mismatch while updating..” ?

SVN (version system) is good tool for version control. Howeveer, if we commit some mistake while updating or cancel a file being up dated then the files in which it keeps the information get corrupted and all subsequent update tries will give the error o f Checksum.   To resolve th is follow following steps: 1. Open the entries file located in .svn directory where you are getting the error. 2. Find the entry for the file giving error and replace the expected value with actual value in error. 3. Now synchronize and try to update.  If it st ill does not work. Try these. Its just a workaround though: 1. Delete the file from your system. 2. Delete the entry of the file from entries file. (Starting from the name of the file till the special characters ) . 3. Now Synchronize and update the file. T his will get latest version of file from repository and all conflicts will be resolved. Cheers..
