What do you mean by "a new head"? [Perdicaro, Frank (GSB-IHPS-Corvallis)] Not a new toilet! A co-worker of mine made a new repository; I had never connected. This was my first connection. Perhaps the better phrasing would be 'first connection to the main trunk of a brand new repository'. The system is an HP Z800 configured to be an emulator of an HP G7 blade system. We have several of these configured for doing analysis of high-speed PDL (page description language) processing. It is dual-boot and has the high-speed dual-disk RAID -- 4 disks total. Yes, a nice PC.

I suspect that is not the problem. [Perdicaro, Frank (GSB-IHPS-Corvallis)] I suspect it is the problem. The COE (corporate operating environment) here cuts my name down all the time. This results in mismatches fairly often. To me it looks like a mismatch between the actual name and the GUID-like name.

TortoiseSVN has its own mailing list too. [Perdicaro, Frank (GSB-IHPS-Corvallis)] Apparently not.

[Perdicaro, Frank (GSB-IHPS-Corvallis)] Not so easy. Sure the update is easy, but not making a new repository. I will keep this in mind. > > Cheers, > > ~ Mark C
