checkout

We are having a strange problem with our SVN repository

One particular project is failing to check out on some dev's workstations.

The error is:

svn: E720005: Can't open file 'C:\path\.svn\pristine\4e\4e576fad0f625706379863e6051aac33097dbee0.svn-base': Access is denied.

All branches, tags and trunk fail at the same point of checkout

Other projects in the repository can be checked out fine

One of our devs can check out the problem project fine.

We have tried 3 different versions of TortoiseSVN (both UI and command line) and another build of win32svn.

The one who can check out is using the same client version as one who cannot.

Any ideas?
