Bug: Lost reference to subversioned file when saving changes (only version 1.3.x)

Hi developers,

I have found a strange bug, that is caused by conjuction with the newest
version of TortoiseSVN (1.3.1, 1.3.2) and concrete version of
specialized file editor, Visual FoxPro 9.0

TortoiseSVN losts reference to subversioned files (working copies), when
saving changes to FoxPro form (for subversion: there are two files,
*.SCX and *.SCT, maintained as application/octet-stream, because they
are not txt, nor xml files, but single table file in DBase FoxPro
format, DBF).

= icon overlays disappear after save and no longer reappear, TortoiseSVN
context menu offers only "Add file" and "Ignore file" options. I can
wait for days, switch off the computer and switch it on again, but
nothing changes.

Okay, I do "SVN Commit" in parent folder and what I see? Files are
versioned (I see them even if uncheck "Show unversioned files"), but
marked as missing (in fact: text status = missing, property status =
normal). So, I press the "Cancel" button and see, icon overlays on my
files signalize "deleted" status (this will change only after commit).

I have tried SVN Update, nothing changes.

After successful SVN Commit, everything goes to correct state: icon
overlays (not changed) and context menu.

Funny, if I use different Visual FoxPro version (7.0) this does not
happen (everything is OK).

Possible reason - how VFP saves changes:
1) original file is deleted
2) new file is renamed from temporary name to original file name
(example: j1to0014.tmp -> crm_akce2.scx)
3) for a short time interval the new file is exclusively locked (it
can't be accessed even in read-only mode) - this did not happen in VFP
7.0 or time interval was shorter and renamed event occured after
releasing the lock.

We have tried TortoiseSVN version 1.2.6 - it works correctly.

Can anybody help?

P.S. sorry for my english (if it's bad)
