Thank you for the information, Christian.
We've seen this in vary rare instances, and without recipe, so have
had trouble pinning it down. The general symptoms have been that you
commit some changes, they disappear from your working copy, but if you
synchronize, the changes will come down from the repo. Your colleague
could try that (update or sync prior to making a new WC), although if a
new WC resolves the issue permanently, that may also be a clue(?).
We are really interested in solving this issue, it's been rare, and
without recipe, so, as I said, hard to pin down. If you, or your
colleague, has any more relevant information, please let us know. (That
was a lot of commas. :-)
Thanks,

-PS I just kinda hang out on-list because I like subversion/subclipse so
much -- *NOT AN EXPERT* -- we'll see what the heavy hitters think, or if
they have other questions. You can also try using the javaHL adapter,
although it would be nice if we could get a solid recipe for reproduction.
