It appears this may have been "fixed" but I've found a case where the behaviour is back. I back up my entire work area which includes several active subversion checkouts to an external hard disk. There are cases we have executable files are checked in and SVN stores a copy of the file with a .exe.svn-base extension. Copying these with rsync gives an extra .exe extension on the destination file, as in the sequence below. Any chance this could be looked at and fixed in a future revision?
