Lapsus scriptum : TortoiseSVN 1.7.10; Subversion : 1.7.7 etc.

As I tried to explain, I regularly run on each project I am working on, the following organization to avoid conflicts or "evolution of work views" :
1- Checkout for new trunks and after update regularly
2- Create for releases (or sometime for interesting update level) a working copy which will be only used for my developments or some chosen updates. This is done to have a stable working repository
3- When I start a development or debug I make compare to use the best level repository
4- Each development is tested (compare, checked, and ui test) with several versions (current last trunk, others releases for stability or patched versions -as secondary branches)
5- I lock versions with data as demo of features developed and stable version regardless one or several functions

So I have today :
1- locked versions used for demo sites
2- repositories from 1.6 that I will have to update with 1.7 and declare in Eclipse as working repositories. This concerns developments on old versions (six month...) that have not been till now finalized and should be implemented in new releases and/or trunk (example for tikiwiki, I made developments not committed on releases 8.3 and 9.3 they are still useful in the last 10.0 and 10.x -trunk)
3- To checkout the 10.x trunk in last level

Not till now, I was ready to do it if the problem was only on authentication when I discover by a test on a not auth repository (http://smartypdt.googlecode.com)that the problem was on all the connections to repositories (http or https). I will do if a problems remains on authentication.

It is the new, but as I told, I cannot connect to any repository (the firewall has been checked, no lock event it seems). I was thinking first that it was on this, but it is on anyone.

Yes they where someones. I check and test, the problem is , for first level, not linked to auth.

Sorry I am speaking there of the system/program directory Subversion program has a sub directory "auth". The "update" is here the Subversion software update. I Teel about the content of the subdir "auth" of the soft.

Thanks, Simon I think that the problem is now focused on "what can generate a lock of any connection", how to analyze it when we get the report I give as sample.
