Hello, when running make update this morning I got

C:\Program Files\SlikSvn\bin\svn.exe --non-interactive cleanup D:/development/blender-git/blender…\lib\win64_vc15
svn: E155009: Failed to run the WC DB work queue associated with ‘D:\development\blender-git\lib\win64_vc15’, work item 32130 (file-remove python/37/bin/python37.dll)
svn: E720005: Can’t remove file ‘D:\development\blender-git\lib\win64_vc15\python\37\bin\python37.dll’: Access is denied.

Ran ‘svn cleanup’ and ‘svn update’ and it updated ‘lib’ to revision 62736 and updated python to 3.9 (previously 3.7)

now when I run ‘make update’ I get

D:\development\blender-git\blender>make update
No explicit msvc version requested, autodetecting version.

Yeah that was poor timing on my end, i should have left the python 3.7 copy a little longer, to resolve

run git pull manually once in the same folder you normally run make update in, after that make update should work as usual again.
