I am trying to checkout into the virtualbox shared folder with svn 1.7 in ubuntu 12.04 running as a guest on a windows 7 host. I had read that this error was a 1.6 problem, and updated - but am still receiving the error:

svn: E000071: Can't move '/mnt/hostShare/code/www/.svn/tmp/svn-hsOG5X' to '/mnt/hostShare/code/www/trunk/statement.aspx?d=201108': Protocol error

I found this blog post about the same error in a mac environment, but am finding that changing the folder/file permissions does nothing.

vim .svn/entires just has the number 12 - does this need to be changed?

Thank you for any assistance!

(just another reason for why I prefer git...)
