If you only have such problems with TSVN and not the CLI, then the
reason is most likely a virus scanner. Deactivate your virus scanner for
once and try again (but deactivate it completely for your tests).
The reason the CLI isn't affected by virus scanners is that most VS's
ignore command line processes (they're child processes of the cmd.exe)
and don't have a messageloop.
