This isn't a Subversion problem; it is a Samba problem. The strong
recommendation has always been to stay away from network-mounted working
copies, precisely because there are frequent problems due to the
underlying filesystem that aren't within Subversion's control. You may
have better luck with NFS (for no other reason than it has been around a
lot longer and the various implementations have dealt with these
problems longer).
Here's a possible workaround, since you apparently have SSH access to
the server. SSH to the server and check out the files into the same
filesystem that is exported using Samba (i.e. a local to the server
checkout). Edit the files from your Windows laptop over the Samba link,
but use ssh to the server to perform any commits/updates. Depending on
your creativity, you could even write a series of wrapper scripts that
use ssh to perform all of the repository manipulation from the comfort
of your Windows laptop.
Of course, you could also use an X-Windows client (cygwin?) to remotely
connect to the server and do all of the file manipulations "locally to
the server", but you'd have to leave your Windows editor behind. At
that point, you might as well reformat your laptop and switch to
Linux... ;-)
