Thanks for your tip. I can try to find out what VMWare's implementation
does or if there is an update.
However I have been working this way for years with Subversion 1.6 and
never experienced any problem. Was this kind of locking introduced in
Subversion 1.7? Because of SQLite?
Best regards,
Florian
