"svn co" worked for me also, but checkout doesn't do any file locking. The SCPlugin code <em>is</em> old, but it works fine. Be sure to look over the <a href="http://sonicchicken.net/blog/wordpress/tags/scplugin">SCPlugin posts</a> for potential pitfalls.

Works great! I am now looking at Finder integration and everything I have found points me to SCPlugin. In looking at SCPlugin on tigris, it looks way old. Is it really going to work? Thanks much for any help you might offer!

You can read more about it here: http://web.mac.com/brianwells/iWeb/main/Blog/91699255-5FDD-4E2F-B05C-84EC49055CEE.html Please let me know if you have any problems getting it to work for you. – Brian Wells I’ve combined both the file locking patch and the zero byte write patch into a single patch for APR, since this is the portability library Subversion relies on.

That's not the one I was looking for, but it <em>did</em> lead me to the missing patch! The reference you gave has a link to the <a href= "http://homepage.mac.com/brianwells/.Public/svn_darwin_flock_patch" >svn darwin flock patch</a> by <a href="http://brian-wells.com/">Brian Wells</a>. The page I was looking for was <a href= "http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2005-04/0937.shtml" >this post</a> on the <a href="http://svn.haxx.se/users/">Subversion Users</a> list. According to Brian's post, under Mac OS X 10.4 it sounds like <strong>both</strong> the <a href= "http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2006-07/0863.shtml" >zero byte write patch</a> as well as the <a href= "http://homepage.mac.com/brianwells/.Public/svn_darwin_flock_patch" >svn darwin flock patch</a> are required for SMBFS "local" repositories to work. If this works for you, would you mind posting a follow-up? <abbr title= "Thanks In Advance" >TIA</abbr>! Thanks, Jason! That’s not the one I was looking for, but it did lead me to the missing patch!
