My experience is in line with Les' advice: you'll have a harder time
on the client side than on the server. It's an especially difficult
issue if several different machines share a filesystem containing
repository working directories. (Getting CentOS and Debian to
work and play well with SVN trees in an environment with a central
/home mount is *fun*!)
