 Although the NTFS filesystem will allow names ending in a dot, Windows
 doesn't support them and none of the userland tools will create them,
 including SVN.

 Windows instead internally truncates all filenames with dot. G.A.N.T.
 therefore ends up as G.A.N.T

 This confuses SVN as it now thinks that the folder is absent. It also
 makes the TortoiseSVN status cache very confused :-)

 Suggestion : Rename folder to remove finishing dot.
