Bug report

Hi,

I run TSVN 1.6.1 on SVN 1.6.1 on Windows Vista and have noticed that
recently it has become more difficult to update files that are already
in use by some other program.

The PROBLEM:

When I update my local repository under these 2 conditions:

(1) One file that needs to be updated cannot be replaced by the new file
since it already open by some other application (e.g., a pdf file that
is already open in the acrobat reader)

(2) A new file has been added to the remote repository

the local repository ends up in a state that cannot be resolved, and I
need to delete the entire local repository and check it out again. More
precisely, the update fails since TSVN cannot replace the already opened
file, when I close the file and try to update again, I am prompted to do
a cleanup, but the cleanup fails and the error message says something
about the new file (which has not yet appeared in the local repository)
is not under version control. From there it appears to be no other way
than to remove the local repository and check it out again.

To make this problem appear, do like this:

(1) create a new folder in the remote repository, add a pfd and check it
out at two local repositories (on two machines or on two different
locations in the file system)

(2) in one of the local copies, change the content of the pdf (but not
its name), add a new file, and check these changes into the remote repsotory

(3) in the second local repository, open the pdf in acroread

(4) update the changes into the second local repository and the problem
described above happens (at least to me...)

The failed update problem has been around as long as I have been using
TSVN, but the failed cleanup appears to be new, I have never been forced
to delete a local repository to solve it before.

Regards

Klas Nordberg
