From what I have read in the docs it seems that it is not encouraged to use file:/// protocol to access network repositories. I think as long as you use svn:///, http(s):///, etc. protocols to access repos on network share it should be fine. > It could be that some new function or sequence of 1.6 repos fails across > CIFS mounts, maybe something file-locking related. > What would be a good place to report this to SVN folks?
