Hi Ryan,
Yes, I am using 1.5.1 (have tried under 1.5.2 and there is no
difference) under WinXP.
I'm still confused as to why SVN is looking at files under directories
\beta and \gamma, when the only file being modified is under \alpha.
After the merge, neither \beta or \gamma have been modified in any way -
shouldn't these be getting ignored completely?
Cheers,
Daniel B.
