Well I think you have to look harder for further evidence, sorry.

Most of the time, servers seem to work correctly (after all, if you
would notice it you would do something about it). It's the 'not working
*correctly*' part that's important here.

Ok.

Ok, tried exactly your recipe. First, no handle was opened by TSVNCache.
Only if I change the included path to "T:\Projects*", then TSVNCache
will open several file handles.

But: those file handles shown in the process explorer are *not* the
reason why you can't delete a directory. Those are handles created with
FILE_SHARE_READ|FILE_SHARE_WRITE|FILE_SHARE_DELETE access. So you can
delete those folders without any problem, rename them, do whatever you
want with them! Those handles are used for monitoring the file system
and don't interfere with other operations at all.

So you must look somewhere else - it's not the cache that's blocking
your folders but something else.
