Issues using the SVN plug-in with MadCap Flare 6

Since installing the trial version of the SVN plug-in, version 1.7.2, to
connect Subversion/TortoiseSVN and MadCap Flare version 6, I have run into
two major issues:

1. On more than one occasion, the local working copy and the Subversion
copy have gotten out of sync across multiple files when I added a new topic
through Flare, and the only way I could resolve the issue was to delete the
local copy and do a fresh check-out.

2. Most recently, when trying to bind a Flare project to the Subversion
controlled copy, I was repeatedly returned to the dialog where I designate
the source-controlled module to which Flare needs to point. When I shut
Flare down with Task Manager, I discovered that several project folders and
files had been duplicated, causing the project to become corrupted. I had
to copy a branched version in order to continue with my work.
