My other thought was to hack samba to share the subversion system as a
network share.

Subversion as it stands today is not exactly what you're looking for,
as it requires user intervention to actually "take a snapshot" of the
files you wish to have versioned.
However, I started researching (just for kicks) the idea of writing a
Linux kernel module that would allow someone to mount a Subversion
repository as a regular volume, with all mods to that volume
automagically "committed" and thereby versioned.
This is very similar to way that Web Folders on Windows--which
is an implementation of the DAV protocol--works, and since Subversion
is already equipped with some basic DAV support, we are probably not
too far away from being able to use a Subversion repository as a Web
Folder backend, and having the whole auto-versioning support.
