  It works pretty well within its limitations, but other downsides are: * If your program creates a temporary file on the webdav file system, it ain't temporary, it just became version controlled. :-( * You tend to get a lot of versions, all looking alike. It becomes somewhat more difficult to determine which version you want to roll back to if you need to. In addition, it takes up a lot of disk space to maintain lots of (unnecessary) versions, especially if they are binary blobs. Both of the above drawbacks can be worked around by copying the file off the webdav file system, editing it, and then copying it back on. In the case where I saw this done, most (all?) of the users ended up switching to TortoiseSVN and stopped using the webdav interface.
