Download the command-line tool "handle.exe" from sysinternals.com
<http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Handle.html>, which lets you type
a full or partial path or file and it will return all processes which
are holding a lock on anything that matches. If the rename fails, have
it run "handle" and store the output.

But I'm curious about why you rename the previous checkout "purely as a
precaution". As a precaution against what? Do you think Subversion will
eat some of your files? You can always go back and checkout based on
revion number or timestamp.

Do you need TSVN at all on this machine, or are the command-line tools
sufficient?
