    Hi,

    I’m getting the same error as the linked issue below using a very
    similar setup, but the discussion has no replies.

    Markphip was able to point me in a promising direction, but he
    recommended that I also post here. The output from TortoiseSVN
    looks like the following (with sensitive information removed):

    Modified 'C:\qqq...qqq\qqq.docx'
    Sending content 'C:\qqq...qqq\qqqqq.xlsx'
    Sending content 'C:\qqq...qqq\qqq.docx'
    Error                    Commit failed (details follow):
    Error                    Can't set posiiton pointer in file

    Error                    Access is denied.
    Completed!

    If anyone has any ideas, it’d be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!


Do you have antivirus software running?  If so, can you try an 
experiment with the antivirus software disabled?

Yes. What do you have in mind?

Thanks.



Turn off the antivirus software and rerun the commit.  If your problem 
is intermittent, you may have to leave the antivirus software off for a 
little while.

When a file is created, many antivirus programs will queue that file for 
immediate analysis.  That analysis may interfere with use of the file.  
For example, in a non-SVN context, I had a test program that would run 
multiple tests.  Each would create a small file, write to it, check it, 
then delete it.  If I didn't change the file name each time, tests would 
sometimes fail, because the deleted file was being held back for 
analysis by the antivirus software.
