The files were definitely identical - as simon pointed out. I checked the md5. I also turned off all the options to 'ignore x y z' in Tortoise.
The version I am running is:
TortoiseSVN 1.4.5, Build 10425 - 32 Bit , 2007/08/26 11:14:13
Unfortunately necessity has meant I have had to commit the 'changes' so i don't have them any more in their so called differing state.. but i do note that it has added them as 'replacing' another file?
Thanks
