Thanks for the response, there was no sharing of working copies involved. The working copy was on a SAMBA share due to the editing and general dev work happening from windows, while the compiling was done on a linux server with a cross compiling tool chain.
Anyway, I found the root cause today. Turns out it was the anti-virus, Kaspersky which had been updated in februrary. The initial uninstalling that I had tried back when the problem initially showed up didn't properly get rid of ALL it's components. Namely there was a file system filter driver that was left over and could be seen via the fltmc command. I uninstalled the anti-virus again but using a special removal tool they provide on their web site instead of the usual control panel add/remove programs option. I rebooted and presto tortoiseSVN is back to working perfectly like it had for years before. I had doubts about other things too since my desktop had gotten upgraded from windows 7 to 10 a few weeks prior but it was the anti-virus all along. So now it's their turn to get a support request!
