I've actually seen it recently with a Windows file ownership confusion, when
two distinct windows domains had the same usernames in them and the move of
members from one domain to the other was *not* done by actually removing
them from the other domains, but simply duplicating them in the new domain.
Files kept becoming "read-only", apparently as the Windows clients kept
becoming confused about which username to use,, and file ownership became
quite odd. Hilarity then ensued. The fix was to log in as the local
Administrator and *delete* all the domain username based ownership of the
subversion directories, then reset the primary ownership to be the username
from the correct domain. Doing this for the user's home accounts and
whatever shared workspace they had seemed to clear the problem, although
there were other things I was doing at the time so this may not be quite
complete.
