No, the error message you get is neutral about which side might be wrong - it says "verifying module: checksum mismatch" and "This download does NOT match the one reported by the checksum server." (I've seen it a lot because it also appears when module authors rebase, which a small but surprisingly high number do...)

Wow, that is shocking. There is never a reason to rebase a public git repo, except maybe credentials leak in the past.

[adityasaky]

Even then, you want to revoke those credentials rather than try to wipe it from history, no?

[lanstin]

That is what I think but security people want both.

[adityasaky]

Strange, I hadn't come across that before. Not sure what they're trying to achieve, deny they ever had a leak?
