You're asking on the wrong list. users _at_ subversion.tigris.org is
the list for subversion problems. This list is for the TortoiseSVN
client which runs on Windows. You're asking about a Linux server, or
at least I hope you are. If you have used file:// to access a
repository shared over NFS then you are pretty much sunk. Our docs and
Subversion's docs tell you not to do that as network file systems
often do not provide the necessary levels of locking for safe
operation.
