Hi brane, thank you for your response.
What I do not understand, check-in the single revisions works perfect. What I've done now is, I moved the repository on a local space, created 2 revisions (53000, 53001) (through svn://) and moved it back to the network share. Now we can check-in again. Maybe it would help to deactivate the check, if set the permission was sucessfull or put it optional with a flag.

On top of that, the NetApp has a different implementation of CIFS than a real Windows server; so, who knows what limitations and quirks it has. I really recommend not using NAS for the repository. If you can't keep it local, try using iSCSI or an equivalent SAN configuration. -- Brane
