1. Please keep replies on the list
2. Please do not top post
3. I am not sure what your solution might be, but when you use file:/// you
need to ensure that the user accessing via file:/// has permissions to write
to the repository. file:/// is really best served for testing and
debugging, you are usually better served by going through either http/https
or svn Note that ssh+svn is going to have similar issues w.r.t. file
permissions as the svnserve process in that case is owned by the user sshing
in and therefore file permissions can be changed as the user changes
