Tossing out a random theory with nothing to back it up...

I don't know anything about the "well known checksum mismatch problem", but are you trying to check out the SVN repository onto a file system that is case insensitive, such as on a Windows or (default setup) Mac host?

If so, the repository might have files with different spellings such as README and Readme in the same directory, which will get clobbered on such a host. I've run into that issue in the past in a different context.
