[TSVN] Re [TSVN] Network Drives

I have been waiting for the 1.1.0 for the same reason but have noticed
recently, that I will get into problems when I use svn:externals.
This requires absolute repository-URLs and my 'same network drive' shares
have different drive letters.

For this reason I have finally tried to set up an svnserve process on my
main workstation (which acts as my repository server).
If I knew how easy this works I had tried earlier.

If you don't need authentification It's really just executing
      svnserve -d -r c:\repos
and editing svnserve.conf for
      anon-access=write
If you need authentification you only have to add a few lines more.

see http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/docs/TortoiseSVN_en/ch03s02.html

(Btw: accessing the BDB database via file:/// with older versions on a
Win2k server _did_ work most of the time - though I _did_ have some
crashes...)
