OK guys so I ended up upgrading the subversion server to 1.6.12 the same as TortoiseSVN is built against.
Now I am able to checkout the repositories through TSVN but whenever I try to commit I get the following error message: $Commit failed (details follow): $Couldn't perform atomic initialization $database is locked This is what I did: 1. I mounted the windows shared network location like this: mount -t cifs //software/svn_repositories /var/lib/svn/ -o username=mynet/techgeek,password=******,uid=www-data,gid=subversion,iocharset=utf8 2. Created a repository: cd /var/lib/svn svnadmin create projectA Edited the svnserve.conf and passwd file to enable authentication for svnserve. 3. svnserve -d -r /var/lib/svn 4. Checked out the repo from TSVN which worked fine 5. On committing from TSVN I get the above error message. 6. I also tried mounting as: mount -t cifs //software/svn_repositories /var/lib/svn/ -o username=mynet/techgeek,password=******,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 but I get the same error message. However if I create the repository on the local Linux filesystem instead of shared network drive, then everything works fine from TSVN. Note: I am using svn:// protocol to checkout and commit. Any ideas?
