Intermittently I get this message from Subversion when trying a Subversion checkout sub command as a step in a .bld project:
svn: Can't determine the user's config path
If I run subversion from the command line in the same exact directory as the step in the .bld project it works, in other words something like this works: "svn.exe checkout
http://foo:81/svn/mainrepository/Web/Notify"
If I open another .bld project with the same type of checkout step, that project works, but the original .bld project is still getting this error on the subversion checkout command.
Rebooting the machine fixes everything (the original broken .bld project step executes the Subversion checkout sub command without error.
Any ideas on what might be causeing this and how I can prevent it? Here is the xml of the step, if that helps. Also, whenever I run Visual Build I am logged in with the same admin account on a Windows XP Pro machine.
