ok, here is Tortois log windows message wenn the file is in use:

    Updated: C:\test\test2.dll
    Updated: C:\test\test.dll
    Error: In directory ' C:\test'
    Error: Can't move ' C:\test\test.dll.tmp' to ' C:\test\test.dll':
Zugriff verweigert

after closing the program which is using the file und doing an update
again:

   Error: Working copy 'C:\test' locked
   Error: Please execute the "Cleanup" command.

cleaning up:

   Subversion reported an error while doing a cleanup!
   ---------------------------------------------------
   In directory 'c:\test'
   Can't copy 'c:\test\.svn\tmp\text-base\test2.dll.svn-base' to
'c:\test\test2.dll.2.tmp': Das System kann die angagebene Datei nicht
finden.

System can't find given file.

test2.dll is a file that was updated at the same time as test.dll but not
locked by a program.
