Hi Peter
Thanks for your reply.
I suspected it was something to do with the SVN or Tortoise because it
seemed non-versioned files did not cause the problem.
After further investigation I have discovered that the problem was
occuring with just one particular versioned file that i had named
"merge_import_data_into_live_application.php". Not all versioned files
as i had previously thought. The problem was solved by renaming this
file to "put_data_into_live_db.php" (by right clicking it, draggging
it and selecting "SVN move and rename versioned files here")
This made me think perhaps some of the words in the file name were
causing some problem (e.g ). So, I have tried creating a new file,
named "merge_import_data_into_live_application.php", in another
working copy of a seperate repository. That did NOT cause problems.
So after all that - even though I'm not sure why it occured/which app
caused it etc. - it seems to have been solved by simply renaming the
file.
Your speedy response and contributions are much appreciated.
Much apologies for any time wasted.
regards john
