SVN trying to open unexisting file/directory

Hey there,

I have been using TortoiseSVN quite flawlessly for many years, but I have
stumbled upon a problem where it tries to open a directory that doesn't
exist.

It happens in the Commit window. I have the list of modified files showing
up and if I right click one file and select "Compare with base", nothing
happens. If I right click and select "Show differences as unified diff", I
get an error window saying :

Can't open file
'D:\Work\Image-SVN\...\
Include\Entite.h\.svn\entries':
The directory name is invalid.

Now... I know for one thing that there is no directory under 'Entite.h'. It
is a file. The same will happen for any file in my repository.

I am running the latest TortoiseSVN version available from website :
Version 1.6.7

2009/12/09 10:28:44 (r17895)

I am running Windows XP SP3. One thing that could be messing up with
Tortoise is that I am trying to do this stuff on a ext3 partition. I am
reading it using driver Ext2Fsd, which hasn't caused me any trouble (so
far).

Sooo.. does this sound familiar to you guys ? I have found a bug somewhere
regarding cygwin svn giving the same error messages but I don't have cygwin
installed.

thanks a lot,
Julien-Charles
