I think this is caused by subversion creating files in .svn/tmp/ and then moving them into the working copy.

The .svn directory is marked as not for indexing to avoid the indexer continuously opening files that we are about to move (which slows us down before moving every file). And on Windows 7 without SP1 these sometimes triggered a bug in NTFS which made Windows report that the drive was corrupt.

I'm not really sure what the right way of fixing would be. Maybe Subversion should use two separate temp directories in .svn/ One for real temp files that mustn't be indexed and one for files that are about to be moved into the working copy.
