Can anyone help?
OPTIONS is a method of the HTTP protocol, which Subversion uses (amongst other things) to determine server capabilities. Dropbox is not a Subversion server, so you can't use the client to access the repository via HTTP(S) on Dropbox. What you can try to do is set up a local directory that's mirrored on Dropbox, create the repository ther, then use the file:// protocol to check out a working copy. Be warned that I've never tried that, but apparently it works for some people. -- Brane
