Versions (beta 5) included a Subversion library that is not compatible with the default svn command line tool installed on Leopard. If you checked out a working copy with Versions b5, the default svn command line tool (and Coda) will not recognize that working copy.
Panic said to fix this problem you can trash the working copy you checked out with Versions b5 and re-checkout a working copy with Coda or the default 'svn' command line tool. Although probably goes without say, but, MAKE SURE TO CHECK-IN ANY UNCOMMITTED CHANGES BEFORE TRASHING YOUR LOCAL COPY.

I have a question Jason... Why can't I get anyone to call me about a refund for service that I have not used and do not want. I understand if your company prefers not have call in support but that should be in HUGE letters on your home page. All I want is to get my money back but since I paid with PayPal I am up a creek? Can you help me at all. Even just a number to call somebody. I did a WhoIs lookup and called a number that says it's DreamHost. I left a message but feel like I will never hear from anyone again.-

Thanks for your comments. Sorry it took so long for someone to reply...
I'd say the community is quite vibrant and peaceful, repairs are done very quickly, and it's great to have access to all the transit on campus. And especially if you work or go to school at York, you'll love it on campus. The one tricky part is it's a bit of a stretch to get groceries, the nearest places would be the Super Centre (Loblaws) on Steeles & Dufferin, or the No Frills down Keele, I think. There's always the General Store at York Lanes, in a pinch. Oh and there's a small grocery store in "University City" off Sentinel Rd. And a Price Choppers and another No Frills at Jane-Finch and Yorkgate Mall, respectively.
As for getting downtown, the 196 Express will soon run more frequently, and a bus-only road is being built in the hydro corridor from Keele to Dufferin. Plus, the Spadina subway is coming in a few years: it will be between Shulich School of Business and the Archives of Ontario, just in front of the Commons.
I've lived in a townhouse here since the place opened, 14 or 15 years ago, so I'm a bit biased. ;-) But I love it here. The only problem, really, is the garage can make the bedroom directly above it rather cold sometimes, and the walls between townhouses can let loud noises through. The master bedroom has a walk-in closet and great light when facing south, as ours does.
Thanks very much for your questions. As you can see, these forums aren't yet publicized, but I hope to get the word out soon.

I would like to know more about living at the co-op...(Oct. 3, 2007)
Hi,
My name is Anna. I am an undergrad student at York hoping to begin graduate studies next September. My husband and I are also trying for our first child.
I would like to know more about living at the co-op. How well does the community relate/communicate? Do things that need to get done get done in a timely fashion? What is it like living on campus? Do you feel isolated? What are the town houses like to live in? Are they designed nicely? Good light? Noisy? Is there enough closet space?
Anyway if anyone could answer some of these questions I would be very greatful.
Thanks for your time.
Anna

good luck with that....
From my personal experience.....applying to Herry Sherman Crow and wait to get a place to live is just a waste of time. My best advice is to apply to York Apartments as they have priority for students with families. Herry Sherman Crow will keep telling you for few years that they are trying to compile their wiating list and after that time they will compile (may be) and then will tell you...pls check back with us in a year or so as we don't have any availabilities and their are quite a few people ahead of you on the list. Decision is yours....

How can you apply for membership? How long is the waiting list?(April 25, 2008)
Hello HSC Co-op
Both my wife and I will be attending York University soon, she this September 2008 then I after her when she finishes, in about two years. We currently live in Scarborough but work in North York. Given that we thought it was advantageous to move closer to both school and work, so HSC came up first as the best Co-op for us to relocate there. However, we contacted (voice-mail, e-mail and in person) but have gotten neither reply nor response for our efforts. Please let us know how we could get an application form for membership as well as how long, if any is the waiting list.
We give thanks in advance!

Louis St-Amour replied on August 31, 2008 04:15 to the question "What's the difference between a condo and a housing co-op? Resident qualifications?" in Harry Sherman Crowe Housing Co-operative:
A condo is a place you buy and own as an individual and can resell later, like a house. An apartment or condo rental is where you don't own it, and you instead pay a monthly fee for rent. The advantage to a rental agreement is that you don't have to try and finance a mortgage up front, and compared to new yet-to-be-built condos, you already know what you're getting, as you can see the place before you move in. Plus, initial repairs, appliance costs, and sometimes extra services, are offered in a rental situation - for instance, you will never have to worry about paying the plumber if it wasn't you who caused the problem and the pipes back up somehow.
A housing co-operative, in Ontario, is very different from the above situations - it's like a combination of the two, with a twist. While you can't resell housing co-operative lands, every person who lives in the co-op is a "member" and owns a share of the co-operative. The membership as a whole meets every year to approve the budget and again to review the auditor's report of last year's expenses. The membership also sets its own by-laws and rules of the co-operative, as well as elects a Board of Directors to oversee the property on its behalf, making decisions on important matters on a monthly basis. There are often committees for organizing events and working on local issues. Finally, for day-to-day management of the co-op, the Board selects a management company or employs staff. The Board, like all co-op members, is a voluntary position, and at Harry Sherman Crowe, the by-laws agreed to in the mid-1990s state that every member must volunteer or participate at least 4/hrs a month.
In terms of qualifications - some co-ops have special mandates to give preference to people based on specified criteria. Harry Sherman Crowe, however, is not one of those co-operatives. If you pass the usual credit check and we've the space (there's a waiting list), you're free to live here. While the co-op does have the right, as do all co-ops, to refuse applicants based on demonstrated lack of co-op spirit or values, we have rarely, so far, exercised that right. One other advantage co-ops have is the RGI (rent-geared-to-income) program, but there's an Ontario-wide waiting list that's years long to get it.
Louis St-Amour, President
Board of Directors, Harry Sherman Crowe Housing Co-operative

I only wish I knew about it earlier, I would have switched and saved money ... I'm paying half what I used to, from a discounted Code Monster plan (reg. $39.95) that I bought for $19.95 ... but now I get what seems like the same thing, for only $10.95 or less. Wow. =)
I just wish in another year or two, I could get by paying $2.50/mth :-p
Either that, or give us more CPU cycles. I'm flexible. =)
