Hi,

From version 1.5 Tortoise is blocking files and folders. I cannot
delete them or move or anything. On some rare occasions I'm able to
delete sub-directories excluding the top one, and then I cannot enter
it again nor delete it. After system restart the folder is gone.

It's a bit of a problem since I run about 40 projects now and I get
files to be moved and deleted all the time.

There ware and are no such problems in 1.4.7 as I downgraded back to
it now.

Other then that, congrats to developers for really getting SVN to a
level where it should be.

Regards
Mitis

Only the top folders of each working copy are 'locked' (the cache has an
open 'watcher' handle on those directories). But the lock is released if
you delete the folder within explorer.

Or you can deactivate the status cache.

Thanks for the reply,

By released you mean the folder should be gone if I delete it ?
Well sometimes it is after w while, and sometimes it will stay until
system restart.
