So, I recently had to mount a Samba share and do a Subversion update on that share. It has been proven quite… challenging. Yes, I know it’s a broken concept, but it’s something I have to work with for now.
So, for Subversion to work with SMB, you have to mount the share with “nobrl”[1] option. This can be dangerous they say, so I recommend that you read the docs[1].
Sample://<host>/<share> </path/to/mountpoint> cifs nobrl,rw,nounix,user=<username>,password=<password>,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0
Thanks to Neil Bird for the tip[2].
