    I am trying to learn SVN at the moment as i think it will help me and my team in overall version control and merging of files.

    Well at the moment I have imported my directory structure into my assembla svn space here: ” http://svn2.assembla.com/svn/103wackywebs ” and now i want to checkout a working copy to my local NAS, but every time I get to an index.html file in assets folders it says it cannot copy the temp SVN file around the NAS?

    The nas is treated as a mounted drive on all our windows PC’s.

    Thanks in advance. Hopefully this will help me and my CI Career!

    I know that it’s generally not helpful to reply with “I can’t help”, but many are probably in my same situation.  Quite familiar with SVN…just not on Windows.  I do everything via the command line and TextMate.  If you checkout to your local drive, do you have the same problem?  Given that it’s index.html, it sounds like it could possibly be something in how Apache is configured, and delivering that file with the wrong headers when requested by the subversion client.

    Ah, it wasn’t part of the repo then, but was stuck in your svn’s folder!

    Maybe because of the SVN folder starting with a period? Seems like an odd bug…

    I use TortoiseSVN (the only choice for Windows SVN clients, I don’t care what else is out there - Tortoise is the only choice) with hidden folders shown as well as extensions of known file formats - everything works fine for me.

    Tortoise for me too, fits nicely with Notepad ++ and the explorer plugin…

    EDIT - thats file explorer not internet explorer, God forbid.
