WebDAV introduces a huge amount of complexity, but as far as I can

We are able to mount svn repositories on desktops/tools/whatever via

Hi Greg,
thanks for the explanations. My take-away is
- it's not really specific to WebDAV per se, but about the granularity
of write requests, and
- there's a problem with the robustness of the implementation.
That doesn't make WebDAV a bad protocol, but it might make this
*specific* use of WebDAV a sub-optimal choice for the specific server
platform.
Best regards, Julian
