I still haven't understood when exactly the problem occurs.
First you said it occurs during checkout and update: "during a recent
checkout and update, the following error occured"
Later in that same message you said checkout works but update
doesn't: "The complete repository was checked out and all files were
available, however, every time we try to Update, we keep getting this
error"
Now you say you can both checkout and update: "Yes, we can actually
checkout and update the repo"
And then in the next sentence you say checkout and update don't work:
"we receive this message at the end of each update/checkout"
And then at the end you say "we can access and update as appropriate"
which sounds again like update is working, though I don't know what
specifically you mean by "access".
So these various statements are rather contradictory and confusing.
Please show us the "svn checkout" command you run and the output it
produces. And also please show what happens when you then run "svn
update" on the same working copy.
Is the issue intermittent or does it happen all the time? To all your
users or just some? We need more information.
