Tortoise Bug: Windows(Vista) mounted NTFS partition not usuable (not
regocnized as directory)
First apologies, for I have done this the wrong way round and reported
it already (http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3604).
----
On Windows(Vista) it is possible to mount a partition (partition on the
local / build-in drive) as a folder, instead of assigning it a drive letter.
In my setup I partitioned the build-in harddisk, making 2 partitions:
partition 1 has the drive-letter C:
partition 2 is mounted as C:\data (C:\data has to be created as empty
folder first, then the partition can be mounted)
If I try to checkout (new checkout) of a repository into C:\data I get:
- A warning which is correct:
the folder is not empty (because there are some system folders, such
as volume-info and recycle bin).
I confirm that I still want to continue and this does work
- An error (which I believe to be a bug)
C:\data' already exists and is not a directory
Similar if I copy (including hidden .svn folders) an existing checked
out repository into C:\data some svn function (such as update or log) do
no longer work (they still work on individual sub directories).
If you try "show log" on a repository copied into such a folder,
tortoise claims "'C:' is not a working copy" => despite executing the
command on "C:\data" (again subfolders in c:\data (that are part of the
checkout) do work
Best Regards

Thanks! (And please don't take the back-and-forth personally. It'll ultimately help the bug get fixed sooner.)

Sorry, no. I was not aware of the presence of this list, not this
bug-tracker.
Oddly I can no longer reproduce how I got to the subversion
tracker/mail-list in first place. I started clicking from the tortoise
homepage. Only guess I can take is, that when I was prompted to create
an account, and then returned to "report a bug" I was no longer at the
tortoise project?
Apologies for that. I didn't have the cmd-line client. I did install the
Slik svn cmd line client => and that works correct.
Please feel free to close the report I made
(http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3604). I will
discuss/report it on the tortoise list.
Thanks / Best Regard

Have you tried:
1) Reporting this to the TortoiseSVN list? It is a separate project, with it's own mailing lists.
2) Reproducing the bug using the Subversion command line client? A reproduction script using the command line client would help a dev address the issue much quicker.
