Well, I can't see what kind of sample I could provide :S
I don't think a simple ObjectiveC.NET version will be a good sample (without 
the binding code), or would it?
If it's the case I can write a simple ObjectiveC.NET app to show the 
problem.

Ho.. I haven't get around to have the SVN working yet :-(
Although I read on the list this morning that there is an HTTP based 
version, that might work better with TortoiseSVN, we shall see.....
(I'm using Tortoise SVN because I'm no big fan of everything command line, 
beside SVN + SSH require a certain amount of setting on Windows...)

Simple enough....
Well if you're interested in my sample, that might do ;-)
