Thanks for this problem description and resolution. I was using an older
version of TSVN and was asked (told) to upgrade to the latest. Now I
can't even log into the server. From the description below, I think I
have the same problem. :-(
I will take this up with the server admionistrator, as he is the one who
told me to upgrade my TSVN copy. I used TSVN a little bit a year ago, but
other than that, all my SVN use has been cle from Linux.
