Any chance that, on the first time around, you got something like this?

Sending bin\svncracker
Transmitting file data .svn: A problem occurred; see later errors for details
svn: Commit succeeded, but other errors follow:

svn: A problem occurred; see later errors for details
svn: Your commit message was left in a temporary file:
svn: 'C:/Documents and Settings/Jack Repenning/Desktop/home/svn-commit.tmp'

This seems to arise because the new file text (in svncracker.tmp)
can't be renamed as the real file name (svncracker), because the
shell still has that open.

When I got that, I did "mv svncracker.tmp svncracker", and "svn up
svncracker". These both worked, the file showed status "MU" (file
text locally modified, file properties updated), and now I have a
file that behaves properly. Why? I don't know ... isn't it enough
that it works? ;-(

Do you have a *.tmp version of your file hanging around? Can you try
the sequence that worked for me?
