You mean svn co file:///mountpoint/repos/path/ ? I think the recommend
against this even for NFS.
Maybe you want to svn co svn+ssh://host/mountpoint/repos/path . There's
also the svnserve daemon (which will actually get started on-demand if
you use the ssh protocol.) If you're on a lame OS like windows, maybe
easier to setup svnserve than ssh.
Checking out _to_ a Samba mount is a different story. Maybe that works
if all of your users are the same.
