I don't know if this is the same issue, but the I get a similar error on the public twisted-python repository on both windows and linux, with several different versions and plenty of free disk space. As this is a publicly accessible repository it should be easy to reproduce:

git svn init -s svn://svn.twistedmatrix.com/svn/Twisted twisted cd twisted git svn fetch -r 13611:HEAD

This ultimately dies with the following error:
W: +empty_dir: trunk/doc/core/howto/listings/finger/finger
r13612 = f6d995ac255e3dfa08a517a6e72fbcfe63feaaa0 (trunk)
Checksum mismatch:
branches/foom/--omg-optimized/twisted/internet/cdefer/cdefer.pyx
264b0c5f7b3a00d401d1a5dcce67a3734f0eede3
expected: c7ccddd195f132926e20bab573da7ef3
     got: f006323ff4714ca52c0228ce6390d415

I found this a long time ago but never got around to analyze or report it.
