Subversion: Mac client, Windows servers

Hi all,

This is probably going to be a question about Subversion,
but it stems
from the fact that I just switched to a Mac Pro and my sites
are on
Windows 2003.

I keep my code in a subversion repository. I have a working
copy
checked out on the live server. (That's pretty standard
practice,
right?) When I need to publish changes, I go to the site's
root
directory and run svn update. That was working great until I
switched
to a mac.

When I run svn update from Terminal, I get the following
error:

"svn: Can't Move '.svn/tmp/entries/' to '.svn/entries':
Permission denied."

But it only happens after a Windows svn client updates the
working
copy. The problem is windows svn clients set the DOS
read-only flag to
true on a bunch of files. And it knows to remove the flag
before
changing those files. UNIX svn clients don't mess with the
read-only
flag, because there's no such thing in UNIX.

Has anyone else run into this problem? Is there
better/easier way to
update the working copy on the live server (e.g. though some
kind of
web front end)? Is my whole approach to getting changes from
the
repository to the live sites flawed?

I'm open to any suggestions you might have.

Thanks!

Patrick
