Subversion problems

Today our Subversion / Tortoise software began acting weird.

It randomly displayed errors/behavior such as:

  • Error bumping revisions post-commit
  • Error: Can’t move ‘P:\544 Politieacademie projecten\Behrloo\checkouts\test\3\trunk\deploy\.svn\tmp\entries’ to ‘P:\544 Politieacademie projecten\Behrloo\checkouts\test\3\trunk\deploy\.svn\entries’: Cannot create a file when that file already exists.
  • stopping an update while it wasnt even completed
  • We narrowed it down to two sources:

  • zonealarm
  • overlay icons on network drives in tortoise
  • So far the only workaround I’ve found is to disable both.
