TortoiseSVN update from Codeplex ends with “File or directory is corrupted and unreadable”

Question

I am in the process of working on Umbraco and when I go throuogh the process of downloading it from Codeplex via TortoiseSVN, I get the following error message.

    C:\Projects\Umbraco\branches\rb403\umbraco\umbraco.webservices\Properties
Can't move 
'C:\Projects\Umbraco\branches\rb403\umbraco\umbraco.webservices\Properties\.svn\tmp\entries' 
to 
'C:\Projects\Umbraco\branches\rb403\umbraco\umbraco.webservices\Properties\.svn\entries': 
The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.

Has anyone seen this before and or know of a workaround? to download everything and sync?

Answer 1

Run a cleanup on your working copy, then start the update again until it succeeds.

This is actually a bug in Win7, which will be fixed in the upcoming SP1. See this thread for details about the problem.
