Yeah, that's what I was afraid of. Thanks.

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.
