We might start getting them as soon as you tell us

    * what system you're using (client and server)
    * which version of Subversion you're using (client and server)
    * what those "some changes" were in the repository, exactly (with
      precise SVN commands, please, not more verbose prose)
    * the structure of your WC tree *before* the changes in the repository

In short, describe your problem conciesly and precisely.

Call me a chauvinist, but why is it that people from certain (slightly
teutonic) parts of Central Europe seem constitutionally unable to write
a bug report? Not just on this list, either -- I have the same problem
with customers at my "real" job.
