I tried to install git from source RPM... and failed:

  $ rpmbuild --rebuild git-1.6.5.2-1.fc11.src.rpm 
  Installing git-1.6.5.2-1.fc11.src.rpm
  warning: user junio does not exist - using root
  warning: group junio does not exist - using root
  error: unpacking of archive failed on file

    4afb1f6a: cpio: MD5 sum mismatch
  error: git-1.6.5.2-1.fc11.src.rpm cannot be installed

Error messages are line wrapped for better readibility.

Redownloading the file didn't help

  $ ls -l git-1.6.5.2-1.fc11.src.rpm
