Understood, I wasn't trying to say it was an XXE bug, rather a bug that affected XXE. >> However, we now have a different bug: sometimes (unpredictably), after >> someone shuts down XXE, the SVN server thinks they still have their files >> locked. > > My guess is that the users who have this kind of problem happen to > *kill* the XXE process. > > One can kill the XXE process by using Windows task manager of course, or > may be, by shutting down Windows without exiting from XXE. That was my first thought, but I've investigated each time this has happened, and people assure me that that they shut down XXE before they exited Windows. I know they're not using Task Manager to shut it down, and now they report to me without my even asking that they first shut down XXE through XXE's menu, then shut down Windows (or just went on to doing other things, with Windows still running). > I'll be glad to help if you provide me with an access to your WebDAV > server. Unfortunately, we can't do that; it's on an internal network. Does XXE write entries to a log file as it's shutting down (or is there a setting to cause it to do so)?
