"Failure to add directory" error truncates folder

Hi,

I've been trying to update a repository from Sourceforge, using
TortoiseSVN 1.5.2 build 13595 under Windows XP. I've hit a problem in
that a folder is marked as already existing when updating but I can't
tell what the folder name is.

This has happened in the past and I've just deleted the local folder and
done the update again, but with the latest TortoiseSVN the folder name is
truncated.

As you can see from the extract, the folder names are particularly long.

The error message is:

[snip]
Updated:
D:\abling\Packages\AJAX\qooxdoo_svn\root\trunk\qooxdoo\frontend\framework\
source\class\qx\legacy\ui\layout\CanvasLayout.js
Updated:
D:\abling\Packages\AJAX\qooxdoo_svn\root\trunk\qooxdoo\frontend\framework\
source\class\qx\legacy\ui\layout\DockLayout.js
Updated:
D:\abling\Packages\AJAX\qooxdoo_svn\root\trunk\qooxdoo\frontend\framework\
source\class\qx\legacy\ui\layout\GridLayout.js
Failed to add directory
'D:\abling\Packages\AJAX\qooxdoo_svn\root\trunk\qooxdoo\frontend\framework
\...\
a versioned directory of the same name already exists

How can I find out what the directory was that caused the problem? The
error message just shows a "...". (I've expanded the width of the "path"
column so I can see the full path of the previous folders.)

It's a copy of https://qooxdoo.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/qooxdoo/ - see
http://qooxdoo.org/documentation/0.7/checking_out_from_svn for more
information.
