If you were using GitHub to contribute to WebKit previously, you might want to delete your fork of https://github.com/WebKit/webkit and re-fork https://github.com/WebKit/webkit. It's also possible to push a force update to your repository that re-writes the hashes, but I found that re-forking was easier.
