So you upgraded to Leopard (10.5) and now you cannot connect to subversion repository at work because Juniper Network Connect is fooked. Fear now, here’s the workaround, though it requires some pre-requisites:

- Leopard
- VMWare Fusion (or similar I suppose) running a Windows VM
- That’s it

1) Run the Windows VM
2) Install SVN Tortoise if you don’t have it already (http://tortoisesvn.net/downloads)
3) From the windows vm, open your vpn connection to work
4) Still on windows, browse to the mac file system (Z:/…) and then to your work directory
5) In file explorer, right-click your work directory and “SVN update”. If this works, you’re done

Back to the mac, do your changes there, then cmd-tab to the windows vm to svn update.

Not as easy as when the VPN client wasn’t broken, but it’s something.
