Hi Bob,
Does the same team us more than one repository? Or is each repo used by
different people and teams?
Some members of this team do work with other repositories. But this
small team (7-10 active devs) is the only one that touches this
problematic repository.
Is the update funky when there is no file on the disk, or only when merging
into an existing file?
Both are true...if the file never existed locally before, it arrives
funky. And if it did exist before, it ends up funky.
What encoding are the files using? I have found that svn doesn't really work
well with Unicode files.
I had thought that different encoding on different workstations/files
might be an issue, but don't know of a good way to investigate (I found
a Unix tool, but nothing concrete for Win7). Did you mean the files on
the various workstations, or are you thinking of some setting on the
server-side? Please suggest how to best check the encoding(s?) to answer
your question.
I should mention that at least one member of this team is using a 32-bit
PC/OS and 32-bit current version of Tortoise, the others are using
64-bit versions of the OS/Tortoise combo.
Is it always the same file(s) or different ones each time?
Different files each time the incident is observed. This incident is not
observed after every update---only occasionally.
Thanks,
-Dave
