In the linux version of subversion 1.3.2, when you try to
check out to a working
directory that is on a fat32 partition (or on a SAMBA mount
of a FAT32
partition), it throws an error and fails.  The error is:

svn: Can't set file '/mnt/winE/_pro42/pro42/.svn/entries'
read-only: 
Operation not permitted.

This is, of course, most likely caused by the fact that
fat32 files don't have
permissions. However, it seems to me that setting the file
to read-only should
be optional- subversion should just warn rather than bail
out and die. 

As it is now, this is forcing us to either go with a
different solution than
subversion, or to get a Microsoft Windows server.  And we'd
hate to see that happen.
