That's why I'm posting here. :) I have even done some extensive
Googling, and (as stated in the initial post) deleting the
.svn/all-wcprops file is the only non-extensive way to correct the
working copy to allow me to commit. (And if I understand correctly, I
risk corruption of my data in both the working copy and the repository.)

I have tried checking out a new WC, but no avail.

1.) Assuming the repository is created, and empty (with all default
settings), check out from the 'client.'

2.) Create a new .doc file in MS Word. I have been using the word
"Ping" in the file initially (irrelevant).

3.) Add & Commit the file.

4.) Edit the file, appending "Pong" as a second line.

5.) Commit (the first edit sometimes succeeds).

6.) `svn up`

7.) Edit the file, appending something as a third line.

8.) Commit -- this is where I receive errors.

Anything other information needed, let me know.

(Also, this may be related to .doc files -- I have tried creating .rar
and .zip files containing the documents I need to keep versioned. I
expected it to 'just work' since it wasn't a .doc file -- but I was
wrong. I have tested what I am doing with .txt files, and just Unix
'filename', no-extension files, and everything works as it should.)
