Do you expect that to > work with 1.7? Depends on how the Windows program opens the file. If the file has been opened with all sharing flags off, there's not the faintest chance to move the file to another location. Everything depends on the ability to open the file for deletion.

1.7 seems to work well.. imported 8500 revisions on first attempt, while 1.5 was failing each of 5 attempts, never getting beyond rev 600. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/FAQ-4.46%2C-applications-interfere-with-subversion-or-not--tp23853503p23855609.html Sent from the Cygwin list mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

Im using 1.5, will try 1.7 now to see how that goes.. How can I help you to trace it down? David Rothenberger wrote: > > Are you using Cygwin 1.5 or 1.7?

FAQ 4.46, applications interfere with subversion or not?
Hello, When using cygwin's cvs2svn with subversion (1.6.2 r37639) while running Avira AntiVir (http://www.avira.com/en/pages/index.php), svnadmin is failing sporadically due to permission failure moving files. Reading up on FAQ and mailing lists, I found that 3rd party software like antivirus programs would be the cause. However, I installed subversion for windows from here: http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=8100 (also 1.6.2 r37639), and after modifying cygwin's PATH to use it, the problem went away without touching antivir. I wonder why cygwin's subversion/binaries seems to have issues with antivir, while others do not.. rather looks like a cygwin issue on first glance.. can anyone shed light on this? -Marco -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/FAQ-4.46%2C-applications-interfere-with-subversion-or-not--tp23853503p23853503.html Sent from the Cygwin list mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
