Something _must_ be *better* than _nothing_. Ok so that posix stuff on windows isn't possible. What about a portable fix based around the behaviour I described in windows - that can be applied after testing the filesystem :) ? If you haven't noticed I have been saying and or suggesting that svn only does this _in_ new methods / api. -- Kiss me, Kate, we will be married o' Sunday. -- William Shakespeare, "The Taming of the Shrew"
