Re: HEADS UP:Problem with svn under latest snapshot.


It could be a matter of interference with TortoiseSVN.

Accidentally, I had the same problem today and found the following
helpful: < http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-09/msg00081.html >
(I didn't have to disable Icon overlays completely, just restrict
them to "explorer only").

The cause seemed to be that "entries" additionally has the Windows R/O
attribute set and cannot be deleted by svn. Some of the #ifdef WIN32 in
libsvn_subr/io.c look interesting (if one argues that the Cygwin port
should put some more efforts in coexisting nicely with native svn
tools).
