Hello!

I use TortoiseSVN (1.9.3) on Windows 7 and observe the effect that deleting 
(svn rm or move) a directory
about once in four attempts fails with something along "could not remove 
directory
because it was not empty".

I suspect that the virus scanner stands in the way, because when I look the 
directory is empty, and
a cleanup process almost always succeeds.

Can the directory removal be made more robust (like: if it fails and shouldn't, 
just wait a second and retry,
and *then* complain) or be de-interlaced from the database operation, removing 
the entry in the
working copy, closing the database and after that issuing the remove and rmdir 
commands on the
file system?

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Dr. Hartmut Niemann
