When I try to SVN update the sandbox, I get the following error message: Update Can't create directory 'D:\boost-svn\boost-sandbox\statistics\support\boost\assign\v2\chain\aux': The directory name is invalid. It doesn't look so invalid. Is anyone else having any issues, or have any suggestions? I've tried "clean up", no help. I'm not an expert in SVN. Windows 7; TortoiseSVN 1.6.10, Build 19898 - 64 Bit (latest version AFAIK). Should I just recheckout the repo? (I'm sending a mailing list message first as checking out the repo takes a lot of bandwidth and time.) Thanks in advance, - Jeff

Isn't "aux" a reserved name in Windows? I know it used to be, but I'm not completely sure now. -- Jeremiah Willcock

A search through the sandbox repo for "aux" reveals directories and files with "aux_" and "auxiliary", but no "aux" just by itself, so you're probably not the only one that thinks that. And judging by a google search and an actual attempt at creating an "aux" folder on my desktop, it does look like "aux" is indeed a reserved name on windows... Would it be possible for the creator of the "statistics" folder to change the directory of "aux" to, e.g., "aux_" ? I have modified the subject in the hopes that this will more likely be seen by the appropriate party. - Jeff

It is. Combination of it doesn't crash the newer versions like they did with 9x (AFAIK, not testing it), but it's still reserved in Win 7. KTC
