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.
