FYI: Windows 7 NTFS issues
There is a bug in Windows 7 NTFS that can cause issues with certain file operations. One such example is committing modifications to SVN for hundreds of files.

SVN related discussion about the problem
A detailed description of the problem, again in relation to SVN
Microsoft support article, you can get hotfix if you use the "View and request hotfix downloads" link at top of the page.

I never got any systray message indicating file corruption, but there were "The file system structure on the disk is corrupt and unusable" errors in system event log and chkdsk wanted to run all too often when PC was restarted.

If your system event log has those errors and chkdsk wants to run often, you should get this update whether you use SVN or not. Otherwise you should be fine waiting for SP1 which should include the fix.

Re: FYI: Windows 7 NTFS issues
I hadn't noticed any actual issues like that, but I have recently had chkdsk running at boot for some odd reason.  I don't touch the FSU SVN often though, wonder if it could be cause of all the revision changes I do on my SCP code checkouts.

I use Linux, ironically this means my NTFS support doesn't have this problem :lol:

No but I hope your SCP checkout isn't on a NTFS partition you access through linux :P
