Re: Windows 7, Can't check out project

Don't get me wrong guys. I'm a dev in a public project also and I
understand the feeling of having people just throwing their problems
on us to solve. But really, I'm not the only one facing this issue,
and considering I'm quite a "standard" user, I innocently though that
fixing it would be important for you. Am I a user of a "core
subversion library"? No, I'm not... and I'm not interested of being
so. I'm just a TSVN user and TSVN is all I know about the svn world.

Half of my coding life is writing workarounds to browser bugs.
Sometimes we don't fix things at our side, but instead report them to
the browser devs. The only thing I can't do is asking my end users to
go there reporting those issues. After all they are using my software,
and I'm interested on understanding and be informed about the
evolution of the issue, so next time someone knocks the door I have
the prompt answer.

Anyway... I'll try the antivirus uninstall. I hope I'll be lucky.

Thanks,
Fred
