Hello,

I am a complete newbie with SVN and hating every minute on it :)  I am
trying to establish a source control solution that allows me to have
the version control on a Mac, and work within Visual Studio on anther
Mac that has a Virtual Machine running XP.  Seems like I can almost
get it setup...i.e. VisualVSN says it has successfully connected my
project to the SVN Mac repository, but I cannot check anything in..I
get Authorization failed.

My step to create the environment (could be completely wrong):

- Download and install Subversion 1.6.3 on a Mac Mini with internal IP
192.168.9.9
- Launch CornerStone on that box and Add a Repository using the SVN
protocol
  (location svn://192.168.9.9/Users/RB/SVN-REPO)

- I can then go to another Mac, launch Cornerstone, and successfuly
connect the SVN-REPO

- Then I go to Windows machine and setup new project in Visual Studio
2008 and choose the VisualSVN menu option 'Add Solutions to
Subversion'.  I let it select the local working copy root and then
enter the following when it asks the location of the the repository:
svn://192.168.9.9/Users/RB/SVN-FILE/MyProject1/trunk.  This says it
has successfully connected the new VS project to the repository, I get
the yellow icons next to the files in the project, but then I cannot
commit anything.  All commits fail with "Authorization Failed".  I did
not set any password when I setup the repository with cornerstone so
not sure where this is coming from.

- The Repository Browser lets me look at the directory structure of
the repository just fine, so it would appear the networking of the two
is fine.

Can what I'm trying to do be done, or does VisualSVN only work with an
SVN version installed on Windows?

Thanks for helping the newb :)
Randy
