Re: Subversion bug when performing actions on individual files on a Samba share

Hi Bryan,
 I'm afraid to say that this works for me. Never seen anything like this before.

Before trying to investigate further are you aware of the issues with subversion
working copies on Samba shares?
  see
        http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3053
and a (now slightly out of date) patch for one issue here which is working for me:

 Unless you have a very good reason for it, you should not use Samba for working
copies.

Having said that, I do use Tortoisesvn ( with patches applied ) .

 What version of Samba are you using? or is this a CIFS box? There are plenty of
non-confoming CIFS systems out there.
