Thanks for your response Felix. This FAQ
(http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/faq.html#ovlonlylocal) seems to suggest
that it should be possible to use a network drive as a working copy.
In any case, it would be really useful for me, since then I would be
able to use both Linux and Windows programs accessing the same files.

The path that TortoiseSVN tries to access is not '..\.svn\entries' but
'<somefolder>\ft_singleplotTFR.m\.svn\entries'.
'<somefolder>\ft_singleplotTFR.m' is a file, and not a directory. So,
it places a slash after a *file*name, not a directory name. Isn't this
wrong in any case?
Cheers,
