Thank you for replying to my question!

Here are 2 command line printouts.

First is from R:\

R:\>svn info
Path: .
Working Copy Root Path: R:\
URL: http://svn.skov.com/svn/ARM-ControlSW/ControlSW/branches/features/Production_work_7_1
Relative URL: ^/ControlSW/branches/features/Production_work_7_1
Repository Root: http://svn.skov.com/svn/ARM-ControlSW
Repository UUID: 2a7e9ce4-0f0a-8847-ab6a-1601258db52d
Revision: 84889
Node Kind: directory
Schedule: normal
Last Changed Author: mr
Last Changed Rev: 84879
Last Changed Date: 2020-01-02 09:07:18 +0100 (to, 02 jan 2020)

R:\>svn status
!M .
X Applications\BasicControl
? Applications\FarmnetInterface\WinFarmNet\.vs
? Applications\FarmnetInterface\WinFarmNet\Debug
? Applications\FarmnetInterface\WinFarmNet\WinFarmNet\Debug
X Applications\GUI
X Applications\PluginInstaller\SimLauncherLib

And from C:\Data\Production_work_7_1_Clean:

C:\Data\Production_work_7_1_Clean>svn info
Path: .
Working Copy Root Path: C:\Data\Production_work_7_1_Clean
URL: http://svn.skov.com/svn/ARM-ControlSW/ControlSW/branches/features/Production_work_7_1
Relative URL: ^/ControlSW/branches/features/Production_work_7_1
Repository Root: http://svn.skov.com/svn/ARM-ControlSW
Repository UUID: 2a7e9ce4-0f0a-8847-ab6a-1601258db52d
Revision: 84889
Node Kind: directory

C:\Data\Production_work_7_1_Clean>svn status
M .
X Applications\BasicControl
? Applications\FarmnetInterface\WinFarmNet\.vs
? Applications\FarmnetInterface\WinFarmNet\Debug
? Applications\FarmnetInterface\WinFarmNet\WinFarmNet\Debug
X Applications\GUI
X Applications\PluginInstaller\SimLauncherLib

Svn info seems to be the same, but svn status indicate that in the root they are different:

R:\>svn status
!M .

And

C:\Data\Production_work_7_1_Clean>svn status
M .

Regards

Mikael

Thank you for reporting this problem.

If you can reproduce the issue using 'svn' command-line commands like 'svn status', then please show the actual commands and their output.

(If you cannot, then please report the problem to the TortoiseSVN project instead.)

Also please show the output of 'svn info' in both places, like this:

[[[
C:
cd \Data\Production_work_7_1_Clean
svn info
]]]

and

[[[
r:
cd \
svn info
]]]

I can't do Windows debugging myself but if you provide the above information there is a good chance that somebody here will be able to debug it.
