svn2git gives Checksum Mismatch

Question

I'm converting a bunch of SVN projects to Git, and svn2git has been working great for about 50 projects so far!

I got a Checksum Mismatch error on a decent sized SVN project with a good number of tags (~30). Here's the message:

    r10249 = 6d53867481065872427e683dc70450d8c346224c (refs/remotes/svn/tags/5.1.0@14147-)

Most of the googling and research I've done ends up talking about how to fix your current SVN project to gibe with the server. When running svn2git, it should be just reading the svn repository. This is probably a problem with the SVN project, but since it's reading it off of the server, I'm not sure what to do to resolve the problem.

Has anyone else encountered this while running svn2git? How did you get around it?

Thanks in advance!

Run svnadmin verify against the Subversion repository to check its consistency. There is a chance that the repository is corrupted.
