RE: [Monotone-devel] monotone update failed

Solved. Some Windows crap locked that directory so it was impossible to
delete/rename it. Restart solved the problem. 
I'm sorry. Thanks for your time guys.

I've tried to reproduce this problem from your description, but I
couldn't reproduce this problem.  Is there any chance you can write up a
step by step case to reproduce this problem?

It looks like we use boost::filesystem::rename everywhere bar one
place, and that's not the place that is causing the current problem.

boost::filesystem::rename uses MoveFileA(), so I think that aspect is
already covered.

I'll keep looking into this as well...
