Mac OS X users who attempt to access a Subversion repository hosted on an SMB file server (such as a Windows server) quickly run into difficulty. This is due to how file operations are handled by Mac OS X when dealing with an SMB filesystem. The details can be found in this blog entry: Subversion, Mac OS X, and SMB. A patch for obtaining usable support for repositories hosted on an SMB file server can be found here. Finally, here are instructions on how to install Subversion with the patch applied.
While this will obviously not be as reliable as accessing a repository hosted on a real Subversion server, it does suffice for situations that involve a small number of users.
