It is mildly annoying, especially the part where the NFS lock server on Mac OS keeps stopping. So every time I use svn (or git, for that matter), I have to wait 10 seconds or so for the lock server to come back. (It always does; it=92s just an annoying delay.) In any case, I wrote up how I got this working; you might find some useful hints in here: = https://github.com/kientzle/crochet-freebsd/wiki/Tracking-FreeBSD-CURRENT-= with-VMWare-Fusion-and-Crochet Tim
