i also have this same type of problem. not to cooperate with
somebody else, but with myself, when i am offline to my
corporate repo.
i know of 2 workarounds. i have been able to use only
the first one, and apparently the 3rd seems to be the ideal solution.
1. export, work with another svn serve (or any other type of
VCS, including tar.gz). actually what i mostly use in these offline time
lapses is bzr, which allows me to commit without connection to
a server. you have to remember if you deleted, added or renamed
any of the files. therefore it is not elegant. but for small time lapses
it's quite fine.
2. use git-svn. on the (in)"famous", though interesting google video
featuring linus torvalds, it is claimed that it is the solution. i have not
been able to try it because our corporate svn server uses only the
svn protocol, and git-svn does not know how to handle it, it only works
with http.
if anyone has tried git-svn for that, i'd like to hear comments.
