problem getting Subversion, Apache , WEBDAV and MS Office working together

["Steve Mazdeh (smazdeh)" <sm...@cisco.com>]

Hello,
 
I have followed the instructions to setup Subversion with Apache and
enable WEBDAV .
However, MS Office products still can only view documents as read-only.
The WEBDAV 
setup to a regular directory works fine. That is MS Office has full
access rights.
But not with Subversion directories. 
Can anyone help me debug this issue.
 
 
thanks
Steve

I think MS Office is issuing LOCK requests. You need to explicitly
enable lock requests by activating the pre-lock-hook. You also need a
new enough version of Subversion which supports hooks.

Next to all this, you need to enable Autoversioning in order for
Subversion to be able to commit the changes to the repository.

HTH,

Erik.
