After testing further I have confirmed that this problem occurs even when I
completely uninstall TortoiseSVN.
First I updated one large working copy. Then I updated a second large
working copy. This second update failed with the following error.
svn: Can't check path 'some\dir\in\workingcopy\.svn\lock': Insufficient
system resources exist to complete the requested service.
Around the same time, the title bars in Windows Explorer windows stop
refreshing and get garbled looking as I drag them around.
When I tried to run "svn cleanup" I got a similar error.
svn: Can't open file 'some\dir\.svn\lock': Insufficient system resources
exist to complete the requested service.
After waiting a couple minutes I tried the cleanup again and it succeeded.
After closing the messed up Windows Explorer windows, if I open new Windows
Explorer windows they refresh correctly.
Is it possible this has to do with inefficient use of memory in Subversion,
so that certain memory runs low and Windows stops behaving properly?
Thanks,
Justin
