Sorry, apparently I dropped the ball on this one. I completely forgot to pursue this further, in spite of what I said below.
In the meantime, an issue was created in the SVN issue tracker for this, by Daniel Camarena: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SVN-4868 So, thanks to Daniel :-). (to be clear, that doesn't make the issue "fixed" of course, it just means it's now in the SVN issue tracker so perhaps this gets picked up one day by one of the volunteers or by a new contributor ...) -- Johan On Wed, Apr 15, 2020 at 12:35 AM Johan Corveleyn <[email protected]> wrote: > > Just chiming in here, but you are both right :-). > > Yes, it's a problem people are experiencing with the TortoiseSVN > client.
