I usually had that issue when using both TortoiseSVN and a comandline
subversion
client at the same time. Tortoise seems to poll for updates on the
server, and somehow
holds handles on various files. To fix that issue I disabled the
tortoise cache entirely.
First by disabling it using some checkbox flag, then by renaming the svn cache
binary. The second step helped :).
