RE: Commit failed + checksum mismatch

        I sometimes see the same problem, though much more rarely (once a
month or so).  But I personally use Eclipse (and Visual Studio only once
every few months or so).  While I do have SVN integration (I forget which
plugin) installed in Eclipse, it's not in use.  I had ascribed the problem
to the fact that my working copy is many gigabytes, and the commits can
include hundreds of files over flaky network connections.
        I've also recently seen a variant where the same thing happens
except that ALL the files do get committed except the update cannot run.
Possibly related, possibly not.
        I'm happy to log/collect files the next time either of these
happens.  Is there anything in particular you'd like me to report to you
when I see this kind of error?
