Nope, it's a private repo and it's rather largeish.

This gives me something different from either value.  :-/

$ svn cat -r57269
$URL/jiva_model_0.6-Jiva-4.5.0/src/jiva_model/schema/member.py@57269 |
md5sum
b5a6b9473d602027b1fe9b5b9d993cc0  -

 (URL being the path to the root of the repo of course)

This works:

$ svn co $URL/branches/jiva_model_0.6-Jiva-4.5.0/src/jiva_model/schema/
-r 57269
Checked out revision 57269.

$ cd schema

$ svn up -r 57270
At revision 57270.

So does this mean there's a problem on my side somewhere?

Added that list to this email.  Thanks!
