According to this page:

http://code.google.com/p/support/wiki/SubversionFAQ#What_does_%22use_the_fingerprint_to_validate_the_certificate

The SSL certificate for SVN checkouts should be:

4B:3A:10:4F:B1:C4:2C:24:B8:F3:AB:80:15:87:D7:E7:9F:DB:48:48

I get this instead:

85:78:89:4d:68:6b:75:33:f9:21:fb:b6:de:7d:e6:0e:70:1f:98:04

Does the page need to be updated, or am I getting MITM'd?

Since I asked myself on August 9, I've seen the cert fingerprint flip back and forth between these two several times, and once to a completely different fingerprint. Either there really is a MITM attack, or there are two different servers which aren't configured identically.

I would really appreciate the FAQ being updated to explain this other fingerprint. Unexplained but “normal” fingerprint changes are a great way to train users to ignore the security benefits of fingerprint checking.
