Here's something you may want to look at, an inexpensive legal document drafting wizard run by our attorney. Check it out: My Legal Firewall.

So I managed to corrupt a copy of some code I checked out of my subversion repository. The error I'd get was:

Sending homepage.tmpl                                                                                         
Transmitting file data .svn: Commit failed (details follow):                                                         
svn: Base checksum mismatch on '/site_local/themes/collabinvest/homepage.tmpl':                                      
   expected:  55af923730fef72abba8efa7060b569b                                                                       
     actual:  cea863f3dbb5b18c90561a66abfe2121                                                                       

svn: Your commit message was left in a temporary file:
svn:    '/usr/local/WWW/collabinvest.yml.com/html/formvista/site_local/themes/collabinvest/svn-commit.2.tmp'

To "work around" this problem commit the individual files and/or directories that work. Copy the files that error out to another directory.

Check out a clean copy of your code into another directory. Copy over the files that would not commit into the new checked out version. Recommit. It should work.

Here is an EXCELLENT article in the HTMLPurifier documentation on character encodings.

 And I guess it was just a matter of time before I too linked to an article over at Joel on Software.

While testing the latest codebase we've once again run into the infamous MSIE Operation Aborted error. 

 Here's an article that discusses the issue in some depth:

Interesting the same codebase running on a non-SSL enabled site is not exhibiting this problem for me.More as I find out more.
