This repository was created with svnlite co (etc) so how would all of a 
sudden it would incure these problems?  I just got done fixing this repo 
again for this month and next month when I do a svnlite up I will see 
this again as it has happened every month from January to now.  I do not 
change anything between update as I use rsync to copy it to a directory 
just for synth use.  This repo only gets changed bu svnlite.

This is quite aggravating as it it always multiple directories that have 
this issue.
