Any ideas would be appreciated. My best guess is that the new version
of svn included with Leopard is smarter than the old one and realizes
that there's a problem with using the iDisk. I hope to be proved wrong!
The error message say it all: svn is trying to lock a file, but webdav
doesn't support it. CVS on iDisk will work, it doesn't require file system
locks. Unless I'm unaware of an svn option that would tell it to not use
locks, I'd say the only way of getting it to work would be patching and
building your own svn executable.
I'd love to be proven wrong, but I've tried the same about a year ago and
concluded that it doesn't work.
