OK. In that case, it might be easier for a TortoiseSVN developer to give
us the necessary details.

I'm sorry, but I tried and failed. This is what I tried:

That last attempt failed with an error message that tells which file it
couldn't open, which is just the kind of information you want.
Sorry if I didn't do what you meant. It would be clearer if you could
give an exact transcript of the commands to use to reproduce the issue.
Ah, I've just remembered that, as Tortoise runs only on Windows,
anything to do with "permissions" is going to be handled differently
than under a Unix-like OS like I use. It might or might not be possible
to get the same result that you did. If it's a Windows-specific case, I
won't be able to reproduce it.
