Hello!

 

I am using the command line client of the latest 1.8 tortoise SVN on windows 7 to change the depth

of a working copy. The subdirectory ACS64-A8 contains only an svn:external.

 

Extending depth to include that said external works flawlessly.

 

But when I remove it, I get two warnings and an error (Zugriff verweigert is Access denied):

 

D:\PRJ\RDA\Main\Images>svn update --set-depth empty ACS64-A8

Updating 'ACS64-A8':

Removed external 'ACS64-A8\images': Can't check path 'D:\PRJ\RDA\Main\Images\ACS64-A8\images\.svn': Zugriff verweigert

svn: warning: W200000: Error handling externals definition for 'ACS64-A8\images':

svn: warning: W720005: Can't check path 'D:\PRJ\RDA\Main\Images\ACS64-A8\images\.svn': Zugriff verweigert

Updated to revision 3872.

svn: E205011: Failure occurred processing one or more externals definitions

 

but strange enough: the directory images is gone.

 

So I get an error for an action that looks like it succeeded finally.

 

Could the virus scanner delay a delete action, so that svn *thinks* it didn’t work?

 

(svn, version 1.8.14 (r1692801)    compiled Aug  2 2015, 17:48:46 on x86-microsoft-windows)

Virus scanners definitely can interfere with Subversion. Have you tried turning your virus scanner off, or telling it not to scan the directory containing your working copy(ies)?
