Git svn rebase : checksum mismatch

Question

I have a problem when I try to do a git svn rebase on my repository. It displays :

Checksum mismatch: code/app/meta_appli/app_info.py
expected: d9cefed5d1a63         


        

Answer 1

In our practice the error "Checksum mismatch:" on .shtml files in git svn clone ... command was caused by the setup of the front-end Apache server to interpret the.shtml files (from SVN) as Server-Side Includes (SSI) and thus produce live content instead of just providing the stored file content. Disabling SSI in Apache's /etc/httpd.conf file for the period of migration by commenting out the

AddType text/html .shtml
AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml

directives solved the problem.
Anyway, the migration of the repository could exclude some paths and files happens with:

git svn clone  --ignore-paths=

clause. It makes sense to check the environment of the SVN server process if those files have special interpretation like SSI (and the .php and .py files) and disable it.
