But CVSNT didn't have this problem before recent versions, since it was fixed in exactly the same way that Subversion fixed it: a sleep/retry loop. The core problem is that the basic design of the NTFS filesystem architecture (and the Win32 libraries for accessing it) doesn't operate efficiently on lots of small temporary files with renames. Whether you ever have a problem is very sensitive to the actual machine you are using (and its complete environment including patchlevel, memory, other processess, which AV software is in use, etc). It's a Mandelbug: http://catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/M/mandelbug.html or possibly a Heisenbug (same site). John
