Hello, I can 9-out-of-10 replicate this behaviour when doing the following:
1.) Mount a (windows-hosted) network share as SMB/CIFS on my OS X Lion 2.) Check out a working copy on the mounted share If there is sufficient amount of data in the repo, the checkout will fail at some (random?) stage with an error message like this: The SQLite db is busy svn: database is locked, executing statement 'RELEASE s893' Though the 's###' may differ, this happens with subversion clients >= 1.7.x, both 'native' clients (built from MacPorts), and SVNKit implementations using Eclipse. It does not happen with subversion clients <= 1.6.x. Detailed system information is attached.
