See ^/subversion/branches/1.6.x/STATUS: * r908980, r908981 This followup on r896915, makes sure that the Windows specific remove readonly attribute code still works on FAT32 filesystems. (The FAT32 driver reports a very different error than the NTFS driver) Justification: Without this patch, users using a USB stick formatted with this filesystem will see 'file exists' errors on some working copy operations. (This patch should have been part of the r896915 group). I certainly don't recommend using FAT32 to host a subversion working copy. But AnkhSVN reports show that it is a common user scenario. Votes: +1: rhuijben, pburba
This patch needs one more vote. Anybody? Without this patch I turn my +1 on r896915 to a -1. We rolled this patch in an AnkhSVN test version to investigate issue #3574 and we got a lot of errors caused by just this patch reported. I don't want to cause the same error for more Subversion users. Bert
