so after thinking about the concept...
it does not make sense to go further with a shared working copies on a
network drive there are too many issues (of course, cause SVN is not
made for such things)..so i will drop the idea...
Thanks for clearing up...

Does this solutions supports having different working copies per user
which can access them or are these working copies on a per project base?
What about locking of files in the working copy (svn:needs-lock) etc. ?
How could they be accessed ?

Furthermore i have started to think about WebDav (after a hint of a
colleague of mine) might be a solution on Windows, but i don't know how
WebDav behave if two people working on the same file and saving the
file? What about conflicts? What about locking of files ?

Kind regards
