I also think this does not work. However, Abdel just stated the contrary and I have currently (and in the next future I hope...) no possibility to check svn behaviour under Windows myself anymore. > FWIW, I have had some weird, spurious, problems with TortoiseSVN when > renaming/moving files/folders.

I had weird problems with any kind of operation involving large quantities of files (not data!) on WinXP/NTFS on fast disks. TortoiseSVN just happens to trigger these events fairly often as an SVN working copy has lots of small files in the .svn folder. Andre'
