I've had the opposite experience — for me, Versions handles external 
modifications smoothly. Whether I'm working from Terminal, Xcode, or via ssh, 
Versions picks up changes pretty quickly, and doesn't crash for me.

Regardless of which tool you use, Subversion actually locks a working copy when 
commands which modify it take place, such as update, commit, and switch. If 
Versions attempts to access a working copy while it's locked, that status is 
displayed in the browsing view table.
