I suspect the problem is around how the checkout was done. Subversion would not be able to create the `BigFolder` junction, so this must have been created by hand and the checkout in several passes? This might then cause a discontinuity in the tree? Joost, can you clarify how you did the checkout originally? I do not think there is a svn solution to this but there may be a windoze one... ~ mark c
