I am encountering a reproducible error with svn 1.9.2 (r1703836) on OS X 10.11.1 (15B42).
When updating or committing, the operation consistently fails with the error: svn: E125012: Invalid character in hex checksum The output from `svn update` is: $ svn up Updating '.': svn: E125012: Invalid character in hex checksum The repository is on the host computer and file based. No network is involved: $ svn info Path: . Working Copy Root Path: /Volumes/[redacted] URL: file:///Volumes/Documents/[redacted]/trunk Relative URL: ^/trunk Repository Root: file:///Volumes/Documents/projects/[redacted] Repository UUID: [redacted] Revision: 3589 Node Kind: directory Schedule: normal Last Changed Author: [redacted] Last Changed Rev: 3589 Last Changed Date: 2015-11-24 15:48:37 +0100 (Tue, 24 Nov 2015) The subversion 1.9.2 (r1703836) build I am using comes from Homebrew, http://brew.sh, and is the latest version available. Both pre-built binaries and Homebrew built from source editions are affected: $ svn --version svn, version 1.9.2 (r1703836) compiled Nov 17 2015, 11:55:17 on x86_64-apple-darwin15.0.0 Copyright (C) 2015 The Apache Software Foundation.

This behaviour is new since updating to 1.9.2. The repository is many years old. Reverting to 1.8.13 fixes the problem. $ svn --version svn, version 1.8.13 (r1667537) compiled Mar 31 2015, 15:33:52 on x86_64-apple-darwin14.1.0 Copyright (C) 2014 The Apache Software Foundation.

Is there other information I can provide to help debug? Kind regards, Graham Miln
