Working copy dir can't be on FAT32 partition?

[Mike <ph...@talkingspider.com>]

I have subversion installed on my linux lan server.  It's the most 
recent stable version. (how do I find version number of svn? it's not 
listed in svn -help).

Hello, I'm trying to checkout my project directory into a working 
directory that is on a FAT32 partition.  (It's actually going over 
samba, but that's probably irrelevant).  The error I get is:

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

It seems to have created all of the .svn directory, it just bailed 
out when it couldn't set permissions.  So, I was hoping it checked it 
out ok and that was just a warning.  But when I went to the working 
dir and tried "svn commit" I got:

svn: '/mnt/winE/_pro42/pro42' is not a working copy

It seems to me, the read-only setting bit should be optional, as it 
isn't necessary.  That's probably all you'd need to do to support 
fat32 working dirs.  Is there a setting somewhere for this?
