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?
