RE: Placing a working copy on a network drive

IIRC SVN assumes it has sole control over the WC. In the case of a network share, that may not be true. That is, someone else (even you!) could access the share from another session. This could lead to WC corruption -- not a big issue if you do regular commits, I suppose.

I usually discourage my team from going that route. There is another factor that is more important for them, though: performance when working remote. I believe that SVN thinks that it is working off a local WC and takes no special steps to optimize for a (possibly very) remote WC.
