[svk-devel] SVK / TortoiseMerge file access problem

[Danny Manners]

Windows XP Pro SP2, SVK 2.0.1_91, TortoiseMerge 1.4.1:

When I invoke TortoiseMerge from svk smerge, TortoiseMerge gives error:
"The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another
process"

Found the following exchange at
http://svn.haxx.se/tsvnusers/archive-2006-03/0031.shtml:

TMerge does not open those files with write access. We always open them
for reading only, even with shared access.

So why don't you report this issue to the SVK people? I mean their
program is crashing, not TMerge!
