Version Control: working offline

[austunity]

i'm using subversion as scm for EA model, on a laptop, and here are my issues:

- I checkout my package from work
- disconnect the machine from the network
- launch EA & set EA to off-line mode
- EA still refuses to allow editing to the model, as it thinks the model is being checkout by somebody else???  To get it to work, here is what i have to do:
- connect back to the network (in my case, i'll have to wait until the next day when i'm back in office)
- check the thing in
- switch it to offline
- and check it out

So if i want to do any work over the weekend, i have to make sure everything is check-in while i'm online.

together with Checkout-branch can something be done about this?  in my opinion, EA should work seamlessly and should only interact with version control host during checkout/update/check-in request - this will remove the need for off-line mode 'feature'.
