I've just picked up on this thread - better late than never. I have the same
problem with checkouts under Windows ME. I'm currently on SVN 1.1.4 and
Tortoise SVN 1.1.5. Both behave the same (as did 1.1.3).

Any chance of providing a workaround or a proper fix? I'd love to dump CVS and
migrate to SVN but until I can get around this problem, it's not practical.

Thanks,

Steve Beet
