Windows 7 entries file locking
>From the TortoiseSVN lists:
A few people have raised this: a check-out on Windows 7 often fails
because entries is unreadable. This is caused by antivirus software and/or
Windows indexing services competing for file locks. It's fairly easy to
reproduce with a large repository on Windows 7 if you have antivirus
software and are checking out into an indexed folder.
Obviously those of us in a corporate environment don't have the option
of disabling our antivirus software.
Is it possible to keep entries open with exclusive access for the
duration of the move from tmp/entries to entries?

Lots of people don't have the problem, and lots do (e.g.
http://schleichermann.wordpress.com/2009/12/09/svn-tortoisesvn-cant-move-the-file-or-directory-is-corrupted-and-unreadable-windows-7/<http://schleichermann.wordpress.com/2009/12/09/svn-tortoisesvn-cant-move-the-file-or-directory-is-corrupted-and-unreadable-windows-7/#comment-100>).
It affects me particularly, probably because my processor is fast enough to
allow the virus scanner to catch up with the temporary files. Surely
keeping the temp files open with exclusive access would solve the problem?
It's hugely frustrating - usually it takes me three or four attempts
punctuated by cleanups to get an update or check in.
By the way, this is the same issue as reported by Khash Sajadi (

FWIW, I'm on Windows 2008 Server R2 (the server version of Windows 7) with a
large repo. I have Windows Search enabled as well as virus scanning. The
only time I have seen this behavior is running Filemon or Procmon during svn
operations.

FWIW, I'm on Windows 2008 Server R2 (the server version of Windows 7) with a
large repo. I have Windows Search enabled as well as virus scanning. The
only time I have seen this behavior is running Filemon or Procmon during svn
operations.
