> >Regarding the comment that was made, I don't know exactly how the svn repo is hosted in the corporate environment I am in. It is accessed via an http URL (not https, I know). The underlying filesystem is Windows because every now and then we get aggro due to the case preserving behaviour of the Windows filesystem. But is it on a network share? Not sure, but I don't think so. IMO that would be an extremely bad setup.

Yes, thanks for clearing that point up.

> Where are you checking out your software? Is it on a local disk?
Yes.

>Or on a CIFS mounted filesystem (Windows)
No.

> or on an NFS-mounted filesystem, or SMB, ... if you're on Solaris?
No.

> If in step 2 you're indeed using some network share as the location for your working copy, that could be problematic.
Indeed, especially with the network I am using.

> As Stefan said, this is discouraged, and you should try to put working copies on local disks.
Good job I'm not, then. 😊
