You can only check code into the repository that corresponds to the
repository the working copy was checked out from.
Use 'svn info' to see what base URL ('Repository Root') is. If you've
recently moved the repository location, you'll need to run 'svn switch
--relocate' on the working copies: this makes the working copy point
to the new repository location. When I do this, I always, remove or
rename the original repo dir, or just disable the access mechanism
(svnserve for svn:// or httpd for http://) to make sure I can not
accidently commit to the originaly repo. Once, verified (by check out
and by using 'svnadmin verify' on the new repo), I permanently delete
the original repository.
If you want to move/share code between the Linux and Win repositories,
they have to be in the same repository. Note: you can use
svn:external, or just export code from one and commit it to the other
(but this loses all history).
