Re: Odd working-copy lock while merging

Hi Simon,

I've just sorted it out :O) The problem was that in the branch I'd changed
the case of the 'Analysis' folder from 'analysis' to 'Analysis' using the
trick of appending an x to the name, committing, then renaming again to the
final name. Looks like the merge function gets the hump in this situation
since the folder still exists in the Trunk with a name that only differs by
letter case. It's odd that this problem reveals itself as a working copy
locking issue though. Thanks for you help though.

On to the next issue now: It's randomly 'skipping' files during the merge
that were added to the branch since it was copied from the Trunk. Humph.
