Thanks, Mark. I did the two-step commit. Never understood how
to create links of either soft or hard kind in Windows or what the
difference is (not thinking of program links in the start menu here
however) and beside as practical they may be the whole idea gives
me the creeps - never really knowing if a delete or move now
deletes or moves the instance under the curser or the actual file or
what. At a glance I mean, without expert investigation.
As far as I can tell from the progress dialog in TSVN the sequence
of a commit is random, so I suppose it would be virtually
impossible to have svn copy of a just added, but not yet committed
file ever working, and probably the atomic character of commits is
fundamentally against, too.
