title: Tortoise SVN Log messages does not update
body: <p>SVN repository keeps the log messages as properties attached to each revision. these properties are kept in <code>db/revprops</code> folder of repository with same numbering as revision. I needed to change format of the log messages and include some extra information. Format of the prop files (at least for version 7 uncompressed) is just key value in text format. I wrote a small program to do this and successfully edited the log messages.</p>
  
  <p>Running <code>SVN Log</code> verifies the command line and shows updated log messages</p>

  <p><strong>Problem</strong></p>
  
  <p>Opening TortoiseSVN in dev computers does not show the updated messages in list; however if developer right click on the revision item in list and select <code>Edit log message</code> the edited message will show up. Even checkout of whole repository to new folder still shows the old message.</p>

  <p><strong>Question</strong>
  Above observation makes me believe that TortoiseSVN somehow caches the log messages in client computers. Where is this information stored?</p>
