Hrm, the [F] -> [R=302] broke stuff for me. And it seemed to work when I just hit continue a few extra times. Weird. (And the same thing Brent said.)

This is still an amazingly sweet little setup. I just set up for our work environment.

This is cool - a Subversion Cheatsheet.

You’re not going to believe it, but changing [F] to [R=302] fixes the problem.

THANK YOU FOR THIS POST!!!

The *_* problem is fixed in Leopard! Although, I get strange permissions warnings in Leopard, the drag & drop file adding works, and I can access the files that I add just fine, despite the warnings.

Hopefully a future version will include an option to disable the warning messages…

This post on macosxhints.com offers the following advice to disable the writing of .DS_Store files on network volumes on the client side:

defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true

The apache solution solves that problem already, so this isn't really too useful ;). I wonder though, if there is a similar hack for resource files...

BlueHarvest is a 3rd party utility that allows you to tell Mac OS X not to write .DS_Store or resource-fork (dot underscore) files in certain places. However, from the description on their website, it does not prevent OSX from writing ._* files, but rather erases them soon after creating them. This does not solve our problem, since writing the files in the first place causes subversion to commit a new version, and we end up with several commits per file change.
