Using WebDAV, there is no working copy, and there are no .svn
directories, and there is no local information at all; you're simply
accessing a file server.

That I don't know. I think there used to be some problems with saving
a file opened directly from the WebDAV share, but don't know if
that's still the case in 1.3.0.
The other problem with using WebDAV which I forgot to mention before
is that you don't get to specify a log message. So you may be able to
tell that a change was made, but without a log message, you won't
know why.

Certainly give it a try if you like. I'd evaluate the existing
solutions before diving into that... there are many clients already—a
few Mac-specific ones and several cross-platform Java efforts—and one
of these may already be good or at least good enough. I just got
discouraged after trying the first two I came across, and since I
like the command line, and it's what the book teaches, I stuck with
that.
