The SCPlugin code is old, but it works fine. Be sure to look over the SCPlugin posts for potential pitfalls.

The reference you gave has a link to the svn darwin flock patch by Brian Wells. The page I was looking for was this post on the Subversion Users list.

According to Brian’s post, under Mac OS X 10.4 it sounds like both the zero byte write patch as well as the svn darwin flock patch are required for SMBFS “local” repositories to work.

If this works for you, would you mind posting a follow-up? TIA!
