svn: Base checksum mismatch -- very simple solution

    Transmitting file data ...
    A checksum mismatch occurred
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: Base checksum mismatch on '/path/to/Class.java':
   expected: ccfa7fbde34401b8db0930afc62bXXXX
     actual: 212062ca0fe2745fdf462377da58XXXX

If you face this problem, copy every (at least modified) file out of this directory, delete the folder, and do an «svn up». In simple Unix-Commands:

mkdir /tmp/path/to
cd /path/to/* /tmp/path/to
rm -R /tmp/path/to/.svn /path/to
svn up
mv /tmp/path/to /path/toP>

Now you should be able to commit again.
