There's that, but often¹ it is also the case that the NFS servers don't
allow user processes, and the clients have no user writable local
filesystem (apart from /tmp, where you're unlikely to want to put a
repository :). Then even if you set up a server process, it has to
access the data through NFS.

¹ at least in large systems, with more than 50 clients or so.
