Description

I realise this issue is on the faq, but I have some new serious symptoms which
drove me to report this as a P1 bug.

The problem is that the "entries" file gives a access denied error preventing
one from finishing the update or commit operation, and any other after that.
After rebooting the user machine the file is still stuck or completly LOST,
rendering the workcopy useless.

My companies particular setting requires us to use our "local" workcopy in a
mapped directory in a not so local server. This server is strained, and slow,
and we have a antivirus program running.
Currently we are working either with a really local workcopy, or with
TortoiseSVN 1.2.6 (no problems at all) - and I tested the problem with svn
cmdline client not just TortoiseSVN.

I cannot stress enought how serious this is, we are currently thinking of
rowling back our migration to subversion. 

Please help.
