The server uses the base MD5 checksum to verify that the existing file in the repository has the expected content. The result MD5 checksum is used to verify that an expanded svndiff has the expected content. The server does not use the checksums to check whether something was altered--the server will accept commits that change a file text to the same content. If you are getting error 170004 "out of date" then it means the revision you are sending in X-SVN-Version-Name is older/lower than the most recent change to the file in the repository. -- Philip Martin | Subversion Committer WANdisco // *Non-Stop Data*
