SVN checkout not pulling down any files on one PC

[alexander...@gmail.com]

We have SVN working on several PCs. On one PC, SVN Checkout appears to be failing. In the past, this was working on all of our PCs.

On the working PC, we use the following steps:

1) Right-click top-level repo
2) Select TortoiseSVN-> Repo Browser
3) Select desired sub-directory
4) Right-click Check Out
5) Window shows files being pulled down
6) Files appear on local disk

On the PC where this is failing, at step 5, the Check Out window indicates no issues but it does not show any files being copied. The local hard-drive also contains an empty sub-directory.

We've tried updating to the latest TortoiseSVN to debug; no difference.

In the Repo Browser, on the failing machine, we can browse the remote repo and see that all the files are at the expected location in the remote repo.

What might have happened to cause this? Is there a simple recovery procedure?

If it works on all machines but one (or very few), then the first thing to check is always the virus scanner/security app/firewall/safe-browing-tool.

Just my opinion, but you should get rid of all of these and only keep the default windows scanner. Even better: format your HD and do a fresh install, because those "tools" are harder to remove than any virus.
