SVN integration - svn.exe process sometimes goes "suspended" when launched from intellij, IDE stuck trying to get VCS status
Using 2016.2.5 (64-bit) with SVN integration. Using the latest 1.9.4 SlikSvn binaries, and the VisualSVN server (latest version). Sometimes (maybe a few times a day) the svn.exe process that IntelliJ starts get stuck in a "suspended" state. Has just started happening in the past few weeks. I haven't changed anything on the SVN server. Never have any problems running svn.exe from a command window, so I'm wondering if it's something to do with how IntelliJ launches it?
See also my stackoverflow question on this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/40257161/svn-exe-process-showing-as-suspended-in-process-explorer-unable-to-kill
Whenever it happens I have to stop and restart IntelliJ at the least. I have to actually log off to get rid of the zombie suspended svn.exe processes.
Anyone got any ideas?

You can enable debug logging to see what exact svn command is run by IDEA when svn process get suspended, and then do some experiments with that exact command/file.
To enable debug log invoke Help - Debug Log Settings... and add #org.jetbrains.idea.svn there

The superuser thread is referencing some server product that we don't use... so not relevant. I'm guessing it's probably caused by WebRoot (anti-virus), since it seems to be being suspended at the point of launch, rather than during any network IO. Changed some WebRoot settings to try and white-list the process and seems to be OK so far. Odd that it never happened from the command-line though, if it was WebRoot to blame.
