Re: can't open .svn\tmp\tempfile.tmp: access is denied

Hi guys,

I've also been seeing this a lot recently and had already assumed it
was a virus scanner issue before finding this thread. I'm currently
trying to get my IT to stop the McAfee on-access scanner from
interfering with any TSVN processes.

In the meantime I thought I would give the command line svn ago to see
if they showed anything different in it's behaviour. The result was it
did, it successfully committed the files. Unfortunately I realised to
late that my command line installation was really out of date and was
actually 1.5.0rc4 (doh!), so it might not be of much use if the
problem is in one of the more recent svn builds.

However it's definitely interesting that the process was still
possible from another client. Maybe its worth others who use other
clients, command line, subversive, subclipse could maybe try commits
with these when they find TSVN stops working.

While I agree that McAfee is at least partly to blame (I hate the damn
thing!) if the effect is specific to TSVN rather than all SVN clients
would this not be something that could be worked around?

If I get another commit that fails I'll try what I've suggested above
with a the v1.5.5 of the command line client.
