I am moving this discussion into address@hidden - this is almost
certainly not a bug, but user error.

Did the other user forget to use 'update -d' to fetch new files?

Was the file added on a different branch from which the other user is
working (in this case, "branch" also includes the trunk), and did the
other user specify the 'update -P' option?

Am I correct in assuming that the other user did not receive any error
messages? If there were error messages, please let us know.
