Fix the svn "Working copy text base is corrupt" error.

set -e


usage(){
 echo "Error $errcode $errorcode at line ${BASH_LINENO[0]} while executing: $BASH_COMMAND"
 exit $errorcode

svn co -N -r $rev "$dir" "$tmp" >> /dev/null

if [[ "$corrupt_sum" != "$svnbase_sum" ]]
then
  echo "Fixing .svn-base for $name"
  echo "  from: $corrupt_sum (corrupted)"
  echo "    to: $svnbase_sum (expected)"
  echo "   src: $svnbase"

  cp $svnbase $corrupt
else
  echo "No corruption detected"
fi 

rm -rf "$tmp"

a nice job and it really does work for me.
