Git/Subversion Error: "Index mismatch: [hash] != [hash]"

on

The Problem

Our source code is stored in a Subversion repository (it's an Apache project) and I use Git to clone that repo for work. This morning I attempted to update my local repo when the following happened:

^_^ [J:0/1003] mcpierce@mcpierce-laptop:Qpid (upstream) $ git svn rebase
Index mismatch: e5893616e68dba2bd8a730609d872f19517e0536 != 93c1bfda2ff4e72a1ae1fbc8374d42ebe107e1f5

 M qpid/cpp/src/qpid/broker/SessionState.cpp
Author: pmoravec not defined in .git/authors.txt file

The user "pmoravec" was recently added as a committer to the project and his first commit apparently threw my git clone of the subversion repository off.

The Solution

For me it was a simple solution. I simply had to pull down the updated authors.txt file from Apache that included pmoravec and replace the one in my git repo:

^_^ [J:0/1029] mcpierce@mcpierce-laptop:Qpid (master) $ wget http://git.apache.org/authors.txt

Done and one, now I'm back to work.
