TortoiseSVN on windows to commit a linux directory

Question

My desktop is windows (7) machine and I use putty to work / code on remote linux machine. I created an svn repository for a project I'm working on, on the local harddisk of my linux machine, and then checked out the project into linux homedir (which is nfs).

I really like the features of TortoiseSVN and want to use it manage this project from my windows machine via a samba mount of my homedir. Currently, I've set up my TortoiseSVN to point to the repo via svn+ssh://me@mylinuxbox/local/svn-repo/myproject/

Updating the project is fine, but whenever I try to commit changes via TortoiseSVN, I get the following error:

Commit failed (details follow): Can't move 'F:\myproject\.svn\tmp\svn-D7BC2F42' to 'F:\myproject\.svn\pristine\0d\0dd5fb7735036827c776e6ebadda82250ad497d9.svn-base': Access is denied.

Here, F: is the samba mount of my homedir.

Any suggestions / pointers would be appreciated.

Are you able to modify files on your f: drive using other Windows tools? - e.g. move a file using Windows Explorer or edit a text file using Notepad. — GregHNZ
Yes. I can edit / access my F: from windows without any issues. — firdaus

Don't place repositories|Working Copies on shares - it's more headache, than fun

Checkout your repo into local WC on local drive in your Winbox
