While I agree that this is what the log seems to show, I'm puzzled why this doesn't seem to similarly affect the svn command-line client (at least in my case; I'm using the ones included with TSVN).

In any case, if it's a bug in the library could you please escalate it (hopefully in time for the next release)?

Interesting; I haven't found a computer I *can't* reproduce it on... ;)

I do think that this does have something to do with filename case, as suggested by Konstantin; I often type ahead of auto-complete in the Win+R box, so it won't have the case exactly matching.

Indeed, experimenting just now, entering Win+R: S:\Program\Install (exact case match with filesystem) results in upgrade/commit UI as expected, while Win+R: s:\program\install (all lowercase) results in checkout UI. Navigating to the top of the working copy and back also has the side-effect of correcting the case, which is why it resolves the problem. (My apologies, it looks like the program name obfuscation on the previous log files disguised this.)

Interestingly though I still can't seem to similarly annoy the command line client. Even opening a command prompt directly from a lowercase window (which annoys TSVN) and specifying subfolders with incorrect case doesn't seem to bother it.
