Actually, as long as you're using FSFS and not BDB, NFS is fine for
serving the repository or working copy.  I would expect the same would
apply for SMBFS/CIFS.  The problem you'll run into for the WC is that
unless your repository is also on a network FS that is mounted in the
same location on each host, the path to the repo will be wrong.  (Use
'svn info' to see what path it expects.)
