I feel really silly. The forgetting was entirely a result of a change of behavior on my part. I unpremeditatedly started to allow myself the freedom to put spaces in names of folders that sat at the top level of my working copies.
For instance, I have a repository with about 10 different, though related, sub-projects at the very top level of the repository. I check these sub-projects out individually, so that the top level of the working copies is the folder that contains the sub-project. During a recent reorganization of my repositories (a bad idea) I renamed the folders for a couple of those sub-projects from "cool_subproject1" to "cool subproject. 1". Suddenly, ZigVersion developed a persistent case of amnesia! Renaming, removing the spaces, has cured this most dreaded of electronic memory disorders.
My experience seems to tell me that ZigVersion will not remember the working copy if there are spaces in that top level folder. I must have known this at some point, as none of my earlier folders had such spaces. Ah, the joys of working in the relaxed and libertarian land of the Mac OS X GUI while really manipulating folders and files in the highly regimented confines of predestination that is the Unix underbelly. Unix does not like spaces, never has, never will... You would think someone with 20 years experience in the Unix world would know that, but alas, I have become comfortable in my GUI world.

I have been using ZigVersion since 1.0 was in beta. It has been a real godsend. However, recently I have been having a problem that is driving me nuts...
In the last few weeks, using 1.2.3 I have suddenly had the problem that ZigVersion simply forgets some of my working copies. They are still on my computer. Subversion knows they are there. I can commit, etc. from the command line, but ZigVersion simply does not see them.
The problem is probably my fault. I renamed a repository. I dumped my old working copies and checked out from the new repository. However, ever since then I have been having trouble with disappearing working copies (disappearing from ZigVersion's interface not from my computer). I have tried checking them out again. But as soon as I close the window for that repository in ZigVersion and open it again the working copies are again AWOL.
