Sure (now when I am back from holiday). The following script is a
slightly modified version of my original one as the original one was
using one of my test repositories. This one starts with creating a
new repository:

#!/bin/bash

rm -rf repos
rm -rf work

svnadmin create repos
echo "[general]
anon-access = write" > repos/conf/svnserve.conf
svn co svn://weinert/temp/repos work
cd work
ls -la /usr/bin > file1
ls /usr/bin > file2
svn add file*
svn ci -m ""

cp ../repos/db/current ../db.1

for (( TESTNUM=1 ; TESTNUM<=50 ; ++TESTNUM )) ; do
  echo "========================= $TESTNUM ========================="
  cp file1 file1.1
  cp file1 file1.2
  cp file1 file1.3
  svn add file1.*
  cp file1 file2
  svn ci -m ""
  svn up -r HEAD
  svn up -r PREV
  cp ../db.1 ../repos/db/current
  svn up
done
cd ..

#end of script

After running this script with
$ ./doit.sh >out 2>&1

I get (e.g.):
$ cat out | grep "^=\|svn:" | grep -B 1 svn:
========================= 29 =========================
svn: Can't move '.svn/tmp/entries' to '.svn/entries': Permission denied

When I run this script while no other (significant) process is running I
sometimes don't get any errors but when there is e.g. a compile job
running in the same time I get several errors, often leading to a locked
wc:
========================= 24 =========================
A file1.1
A file1.2
A file1.3
Adding file1.1
Adding file1.2
Adding file1.3
Sending file2
Transmitting file data ....
Committed revision 2.
At revision 2.
svn: In directory '.'
svn: Error processing command 'delete-entry' in '.'
svn: Can't move '.svn/tmp/entries' to '.svn/entries': Permission denied
D file1.1
svn: Working copy '.' locked
svn: run 'svn cleanup' to remove locks (type 'svn help cleanup' for details)

My VirusScan is called "McAfee VirusScan v4.5.1 SP1". So may be you
have to change "always the latest version" to "always with latest
virus definitions".
