  I do have an SVN repository which I use from three
  different machines. At one of them, a Windows box, I
  have very limited rights and my profile is always
  copied from/to some server whenever I login/logout.
  I'm on that machine only once a week for a few hours.
  Almost every time I log in, my WC is unusable (update
  fails advising me to cleanup, but then cleanup fails,
  too, with some error message which to investigate I
  hever took the time for) and I have to trash it and
  checkout anew.

  I'll have a look this week whether this has something
  to do with the tmp folder(s). (Unless, of course,
  Murphy has his day off and it works this time...)
