Cannot rename folders containing svn repositories

For some reason, I am unable to rename folders containing local svn repositories I have created. When I do this through Total Commander I get an error:

Error: Cannot write D:\newname
Please remove the write protection

I have checked the process explorer and it seems that TSVNCache.exe is the culprit. The svn forums are quite inactive so this is my best shot at getting a solution.

I think I found the problem thanks to this link. One must kill the cache using TortoiseSVN (which is the client I am using).

In a Windows Explorer Window, right-click on any file, then go to TortioseSVN->Settings->Icon Overlays->Status Cache and set it to None.

tsvncache.exe will immediately exit and not run again.

Very pretentious of Tortoise to think that they are entitled to lock down folder renaming on behalf of the user.
