Before we descend into too much mud slinging, it is likely that the
change is in the SVN library and not TSVN itself. There have been
almost 2 years of changes since 1.4 was released so it is likely that
some subtle change in the WC code has caused it to stop working on
SAMBA shares.
Please can those who have this problem test also with the 1.5 svn
command line client and see if the problem exists there. If it does
then it should be reported to the subversion developers who can
hopefully get to the bottom of it.
