[Monotone-devel] Win32 working copy update

[Wouter van Kleunen]

A problem with updating win32 working copy is that some directories can
be in use while updating. Monotone will try to move these directories to
some working directory but it fails, because the directory is in use. This
is pretty bad, it can render your working copy useless. I had several
times monotone not knowing anymore what to do with the working directory
because some files were missing and monotone refusing to revert/update or
whatever.

is it possible to first move the top level working directory to some other
directory like:

repository/MT -> work_repository/MT

...do update

work_repository/MT -> repository/MT

( I added the MT to show you what directory i mean )

that way the move will fail if some file is in use.
