Last year, in a thread entitled "Subversion and XXE", we discussed autoversioning when XXE saved files to a WebDav server. Your comment, Hussein, was:

We really want XXE to > behave correctly when used with a WebDAV DeltaV backend. We now have WebDav and Subversion set up, and we cannot get this behavior to work. Specifically, if autoversioning is set to ON, we get a new version with every save; if we set it to OFF, we can't save at all, instead we get an error: Cannot save document "https://svn....": Conflict [409] I get the same results for both the ON and the OFF setting with Exclusive, Shared and None locking set in XMLmind's options for remote filesystems. This is with XMLMind v3.7.1 (we'll be upgrading to 3.8.1 next week, but I don't see anything in the changes listing that would indicate the XXE WebDav client changed). The WebDav plugin in XMLmind reports version 1.01. Java SE runtime is 1.6.0_06. We are using version 2.2.3-11.el5_1.centos.3.x86_64 of Apache, with mod_dav_svn version 1.4.2-2.el5.x86_64, and SubVersion 1.4.2-2.el5.x86_64. (I notice that's a bit old.) There are a few things we can play around with here, one of which is to try a newer mod_dav_svn / SubVersion. Do you have any other suggestions? Do you have a mod_dav_svn server set up somewhere, and perhaps the configuration file(s) for that server? There aren't any settings in XXE that would affect how the WebDav client works, are there?
