I don't know if this is the same issue, but the I get a similar error
on the public twisted-python repository on both windows and linux,
with several different versions and plenty of free disk space. As this
is a publicly accessible repository it should be easy to reproduce:

git svn init -s svn://svn.twistedmatrix.com/svn/Twisted twisted
cd twisted
git svn fetch -r 13611:HEAD

This ultimately dies with the following error:
W: +empty_dir: trunk/doc/core/howto/listings/finger/finger
r13612 = f6d995ac255e3dfa08a517a6e72fbcfe63feaaa0 (trunk)
Checksum mismatch:
branches/foom/--omg-optimized/twisted/internet/cdefer/cdefer.pyx

     got: f006323ff4714ca52c0228ce6390d415


I found this a long time ago but never got around to analyze or report it.
