Thanks Bert,
Since I see you are the one who reported this issue in the bug tracker and to Technet, thanks for that. Perhaps it would be a good idea to include some additional information in the bug tracker regarding turning off search indexing and/or exclude the folder from anti-virus scans to work around the problem. It seems like the issue could be worked around. The problem occurs when files are moved on top of other files. Couldn't Subversion simply delete the files before it moves them to solve the issue? I know it would be slightly slower to do this, so maybe that's a concern. However, if the issue is not fixed in SP1 and no publicly available hotfix occurs, subversion may have to work around this.

(It is a confirmed issue, so the support incident fee shouldn't be calculated for it). Most likely corporate users can get a specific update for this issue when it is available. (I don't know if that is already the case). For the Subversion community it would be much better if we get it released in a service pack (or automatic update. Thanks for everybody who helps us get this issue resolved! Bert BTW: http://tinyurl.com/w7corrupt is a shortcut to this forum post.

Is it enough to leave a message on the note? Or are you asking that we call our rep? Should we file a ticket about it?

He indicated that this is a known issue in Windows 7, but was not scheduled for inclusion in SP1 because it was not receiving much feedback. If you have access to send Microsoft feedback on this issue, it is in everyone's best interest if as many people do so as they can to get this issue included in SP1. This seriously affects those using Windows 7 as both a server and client for Subversion.
