As others have said, you won't get it working from .Mac. It's not
like some other hosting services where you are able to configure the
server itself (as previously stated you have to configure Apache
modules to integrate SVN over http).
.Mac is really for basic personal webpage hosting and synchronisation
of data between Macs, I like the idea of it but having tried it for
the last year I won't be renewing at the end of this month since I
don't think it offers great value.
You can map your .Mac iDisk as a drive, however. But I'm unsure as to
whether you can then use the file:// protocol with SVN to access it
(for example, "svn status file:///Volumes/<your_idisk_name>/path").
Perhaps if that works it would be adequate for your needs?
