Hello,

I am not sure if this is the right way to ask a question.
In my company we use Subversion for many Java Projects and it works
really good.
Some weeks ago I installed Subversion and TourtoisSVN aOn my pc at home.
I played around with some files. It worked well.
The SVN Server and also the Repositories and the TortoiseSVN are running
on the same machine (WIN10 Home 64Bit).
But 'suddenly' (I know that sound strange) it does not create or update
.svn files. It recocknize an read the existing .svn from my tests.
I am the only user on my machine and i am the administrator.
I did following checks:
1) Subversion Server works fine, with my installed JavaEE
2) I deinstalled TortoiseSVN and installed it again. Same Problem
I searched the net, but it seemd that I'm the only one with this problem.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you in advance
Peter (with greeting from germany)

What version of TSVN are you using?
What did you make suspect .svn files are not created or updated? Also
please be a bit more specific. .svn is usually a folder and not a file.
Do you mean that files inside the .svn folder are not created/updated or
do you suggest that a file you named .svn doesn't get handled by SVN
(anymore?)?

The Windows 10 update to build 1611 was pushed to machines having been
set to defer upgrades a few weeks ago. I'm aware that there were some
decent changes to the Windows Defender in that build. Did you try
disabling the Windows Defender (and some other AV you might use) to
double check the problem isn't related to an antivirus software messing
around with file access?

Hello Stefan,

base information:
TortoiseSVN 1.9.5, Build 27581 - 64 Bit , 2016/11/26 09:18:58
Subversion 1.9.5, -release
apr 1.5.2
apr-util 1.5.4
serf 1.3.9
OpenSSL 1.0.2j 26 Sep 2016
zlib 1.2.8
SQLite 3.14.1

Using Netbeans, .svn folders are correctly created and used. Bu trying to import some folders via TortoiseSVN, the import-Process seems to work, but after finishing, there is no .svn Folder. Trying to import again gives a message that the files are already existing.

Greetings
Peter

disableing avira and windows defender does not change the behavior.

The .svn folder is hidden. If you don't have the option enabled in
explorer to show hidden files and folders, you won't see it.

yes the folders are hidden. The Option to see the Folders is checked. I can see the Folders wich are created by netbeans. But Tortoise does not create .svn solders.
It shows the icons from existing .svn Folders but it seems unable to create or modify the Folder and the included files.

right-click on the root folder of your working copy. If you see an entry
"Upgrade WC" then the version of the working copy format is too old for
TSVN and needs upgrading. But once you do that, other svn clients who
need the older version won't be able to do anything there anymore.

The "import" command does not do what you think it does. Import does not, and never has, created a working copy. It only adds files to the repository.

Now you need to check out your folder from the working copy. A better way to add all files and create a working copy at the same time, is to check out an empty folder as your working copy root (which creates the .svn folder), and then use "Add" and "Commit" to get your initial set of files into the repository.
