Dear Neels,

Thanks for your reply. I indeed used the approach of a fresh checkout + file 
copy as a workaround. This is working fine. Thanks to single .svn folder in the 
root the file copy was a breeze.

Because I'm doing a lot of troubleshooting/bug fixing myself I fully understand 
the difficulty of reproducing. But nevertheless I wanted to report this, to 
give you some indication. If I can find a way of getting the error again, I 
will let you know.

As of yet, I'm running 8 checkouts which I upgraded. Around 16000 files per 
working copy. Overall seems to be running stable.

Best regards,
Matthijs Dolsma

Hi Matthijs,

noting that no-one has replied yet, I would like to thank you for your problem 
report. However, it is difficult to tell what exactly went wrong in your 
specific case and how to fix it (there is a known issue about missing 
checksums, but I'm not familiar with it, maybe someone else can comment).
Anyway, 'upgrade' seems to be a wee bit unreliable.

At the end of the day, I suggest that you try to make a clean checkout using 
svn 1.7, so that you get a brand new working copy that pretty much guarantees 
you a consistent state to work with.

If you have uncommitted modifications in your old/locked working copy, you 
would need to transfer them to the new working copy. That *can* be simply a 
matter of copying the files over (omitting '.svn' folders). If you had local 
moves, adds, deletes or such, that would need some more work.

If it is a lot of work for you to get a fresh checkout, you can also try to 
blast away the entire working copy subtree in which your error appears, 
starting with at least the parent folder above the problem. A subsequent 
'update' should bring those things back and maybe fixes things at the same 
time. And again, make sure you don't blast away uncommitted changes.

Hope that this is helpful -- I'm basically just confirming that we care, seeing 
that no-one else has replied yet.

Oh, BTW, your error appears to be coming from the Subversion API itself.
Nevertheless, this here is not the mailing list for TortoiseSVN, which is a 
separate project from this, the "core" Subversion.

Thanks!
~Neels
