In your case, if you're not running a native Windows svn client then anti-virus is top of the suspect list. I know you claim that you have used MSE for years, but anti-virus tools update very frequently, and their behaviour can (and does) change. See the following link, under "File access problems":

So unless anyone else on this list can provide further insight, it really looks as if a third party (probably your anti-virus) is locking the 'wc.db' file whilst svn is trying to update it - and there's not much we can do about that.

As suggested here,

   http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/fortran/2013-09/msg00067.html

there is a git mirror which allows to download the fortran-dev branch..

Thanks,
