Problem on Commit: "Commit succeeded, but other errors follow:"

Gentlefolks,

TortoiseSVN 1.5.0, Build 13316 - 32 Bit , 2008/06/21 07:55:29
Subversion 1.5.0,
apr 1.2.12
apr-utils 1.2.12
berkeley db 4.4.20
neon 0.28.2
OpenSSL 0.9.8g 19 Oct 2007
zlib 1.2.3

I recently upgraded to V1.5.0. Today I began the next phase of a
development project, and added a new code module to an existing repository
using Tortoise Add. I then did a Tortoise Commit. I received the
following error messages (note that the filespec "R:\repo\foo.php" was used
to reduce my typing a very long text string):

Adding R:\repo\foo.php
Sending Content R:\repo\foo.php
Error Commit succeeded, but other errors follow:
Error Error bumping revisions post-commit (details follow):
Error In directory 'R:\repo'
Error Error processing command 'committed' in 'R:\repo'
Error Can't Move
Error 'R:\repo\...\foo.php.svn-work'
Error to
Error 'R:\repo\.svn\prop-base\foo...\
Error Access is denied.
Finished!

The "R:\" share is located on a Samba-served Linux server. There is no
copy of Subversion installed on the Linux server. I don't think I have a
permissions issue because Tortoise runs in the context of "root" on the
Samba share. I have been using Tortoise with this setup for over 2 years
without any problems. It is only after I upgraded to V1.5.0 that I started
receiving the error messages on Commit. FWIW, this problem seems to happen
only with files which have been Added to the repo. Commits of files which
were already in the repo before the Tortoise upgrade complete successfully.
When the error occurs it renders the repo useless. Cleanup does not work,
and I cannot Update or Commit because it says the repo is locked. My only
alternative is to check out another copy of the repo, which is very time
consuming.

I did research in the list archives and in the bugtracker. I saw some
messages with a problem similar to mine, the most recent being this one:
http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/servlets/ReadMsg?listName=users&msgNo=10807.
No solution was given.

There was also a bug ticket opened on May 14, 2008:
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3198 The ticket is
marked as "Fixed" but I cannot tell if the fix became a part of the
Tortoise build I am using.

I have 2 questions:

(1) Does anyone have a way of manually fixing this problem? I need to do
a bit of secondary re-configuration every time I check out a new copy of
the repo, and it quickly becomes very frustrating.

(2) If no manual fix is available, can I downgrade to an earlier version of
Tortoise without problems? I have the Windows installer for 1.4.8 and will
happily revert if someone can assure me that it will work on repos that
have been touched by Tortoise 1.5.0. Will a removal of 1.5.0 leave any
artifacts on disk or in the Windows registry that could corrupt
re-installing 1.4.8?

I really love the convenience and power of Tortoise, and would hate to lose
it to this sort of problem.

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide,
--- Steve
