I tried "svn up" to bring my sandbox up-to-date and got this output:

% svn up U Include/unicodeobject.h subversion/libsvnwc/updateeditor.c:1609: (aprerr=155017) svn: Checksum mismatch for 'Objects/.svn/text-base/unicodeobject.c.svn-base'; expected: '8611dc5f592e7cbc6070524a1437db9b', actual: '2d28838f2fec366fc58386728a48568e' What's that telling me?

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?
