Hi, I'd like to use subversion, but it uses berkeley-db for the repository. Since berkeley-db uses mmap for locking (right?), in the svn documentation they write
"As opposed to CVS, subversion is not based on RCS, but rather on the Berkeley Database. Make sure not to install a repository on remote file systems, like NFS, AFS, or Windows SMB. The database requires POSIX locking mechanisms, which these file systems do not support." How serious is this problem? Is it possible to have a repository on afs if only one client at a time uses it (e.g. because there is only one machine where svnserve is called)?
