OK, we will try to track these cases and provide you with the scenarios and
error messages.
What I know for sure is that it's usually related to renaming things (even
if we do it through TSVN's rename)...

Sorry, it is svn: not SVN:...

]It's not "impossible" - you still can add those files. Ignored

The 'test result' directory has svn:ignore set on it.

Let me get back to you on that :-) Sorry, but I lost the file with the
scenario... I will give accurate details next time this happens.

Yes, the test folder has the correct (empty) state

]
]Check the "svn:ignore" properties. Then make sure that no user
]accidentally adds the files in the test folder. I'm not sure
]if Ankh and RapidSVN really use the svn:ignore property or if
]they just automatically add all unversioned files. Just check
]if they do.

OK

Thanks, Amir
