I've searched the archives and this has been reported back as far as 1.7.3 that I could see. I couldn't see that it was reported against 1.7.6 yet. I deleted my entire tree below the root and got the same error again. Just doing an update on Windows 7 64 bit OS. The repository is approximately 8.1 GB.
