Re: Error while doing a cleanup

I think I can tell you cause of this although I'm not sure. The guy
using it said that when he would got the conflict (someone committed the
same file before him) he deleted the tmp files. I'm sure he did this a
few times. We went to the recycle bin to restore the deleted files and
it would increment the tmp version each time we ran cleanup.
myfile.3.tmp, myfile.4.tmp, myfile.5.tmp.

We fixed it by redoing the checkout. Thanks. We dragged the working
copies that had changed out of the local svn controlled directory and
then removed the whole directory. Made a new checkout and then copied
them back in.
