Turn off the antivirus software and rerun the commit. If your problem
is intermittent, you may have to leave the antivirus software off for a
little while.

When a file is created, many antivirus programs will queue that file for
immediate analysis. That analysis may interfere with use of the file.
For example, in a non-SVN context, I had a test program that would run
multiple tests. Each would create a small file, write to it, check it,
then delete it. If I didn't change the file name each time, tests would
sometimes fail, because the deleted file was being held back for
analysis by the antivirus software.
