The error that kept reocurring was:
Code:

txn-current-lock': Permission denied was the recurrent error

in Eclipse console. I had setup my own subversion repository
with http access and security. My commonapache2.conf file had the lines
Code:

User apache
Group apache

so I figured apache ran as those characters for better or worse. But
Subclipse couldn't access certain directories it needed to write to in order to commit.
I never experienced making changes manually using svn ..., so I figured apache was
the culprit. After several foolish hours of googling and fooling around, I fired up
ksysguard to see what apache was running as, and lo and behold, it was running
as user backuppc. If anyone knows why, I would be grateful to hear it and any way it
should/could be improved. So I set my repository ownership to backuppc and everything
works. Setting the group to backuppc and becoming a member of the group did not work.
I had to set ownership. If this is bad. Please let me know.
