Re: Unable to checkout/add hidden files to repo

I had the same problem with both client version 1.5.1 that's installed on
the server and 1.6.12 that's on my laptop (ubuntu 11.10) .

This is an old server still running debian lenny, so it has not gotten many
updates lately. I don't really understand how this is just now coming up as
a problem. its possible that this has been happening for the last 2 years
and no one noticed, but its very unlikely. we run over 50 projects out of
this repo and all have hidden files like this in them.

Either way I'm glad i was able to figure it out. it was about to be a long
day if i didn't. I was planning on moving our repo this year anyways to a
newer version of svn. Now I think i'll make that a higher priority.

Thanks guys.
