Please read this newly rewritten book explanation of autoversioning,
especially the Webfolders section:
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.webdav.clients.html
In short, XP 'network place' is a lousy dav client, not able to do
much. If you were to get a better DAV client like netdrive or
webdrive, then every application could use webdav transparently. The
repository would appear to be a drive letter.
