On two checked out folders, I now find that after a few commits with Tortoise (rt click, commit), all the Tortoise rt click options (such as commit, update, revert, clean-up etc) disappear. All the rt click now lists is "checkout" and "Repo-Browser", as though the folder is no longer checked out. Yet, the ".svn" folder is still present, and the folder (and its subfolders) still show the green check mark or red exclamation mark (if something has been changed). When I now run my automated batch file to update these folders, the batch command skips the folder, as though it is no longer checked out. The batch command which has worked well up to now is:
>
> TortoiseProc.exe /command:update /path:"C:\User.lib8\" /closeonend:1

> Hence, I can no longer get updates or make commits by working with the top level folder (C:\User.lib8), either using the batch file or by rt clicking. However, if I rt click on the subfolders of C:\User.lib8, I can update and commit fine.

> This rt click menu seems to work Ok for a few times then stops working. It has done this sporadically - on some PCs it still works on one of the two folders, while on others, it works on neither. I have tried deleting the checked out folder and re-checking it out. No change. Once it has stopped working, one cannot seem to get the menu to work again.

It sounds like one more case of notorious bug 169
aka "short path longer than long path" issue
https://code.google.com/p/tortoisesvn/issues/detail?id=169
The only difference wrt. 169 is that you say that it does not
reproduce reliably ("after a few commits..").
> When I now run my automated batch file to update these folders,
Just curious: why aren't you using a command-line client? It is
included in Tortoise 1.7.x installer now.
