Hi,

I had to restore a subversion server from a backup image taken the previous night. Everything worked fine after the restore except for one repository.

A working copy had been committed on the server after the latest backup, so this working copy had newer files than the restored repository. I tried to commit the files using tortoise, but SVN didn't recognize that the files on the working copy were newer than those in the repository.

I'm using Subversion Server 1.6.5 on Windows 2003 Server and TortoiseSVN 1.6.8 64 bit on a Win7 64 bit client.

Thanks, John
