Re: Error while trying to check out mounted repository

Ok, so you are using Linux or some Unix.
to be able to use svn file:/// urls you have to know where the mount 
point of the file system is.

I checked this that way:
- my home directory is /home/alex
- i created a mount point in /home/alex/samba
- i mounted the samba share
   mount.cifs //myserver/sharename /home/alex/samba -o user=alex
- the repository is in \\myserver\sharename\myrepos
- the file: url to use is file:///home/alex/samba/myrepos

That way it worked.
One thing to node: you will run into problems if the repository is in 
bdb format. fsfs repositories seem to work fine.
