If you want an exported read-only filesystem, I think that's already
possible, if you are using Apache as server: Just mount the repository
via WebDAV. That is, under Windows mount it as so-called Webfolder,
and under Linux use davfs resp. davfs2 (you may have to install that
package first):

  mount -r -tdavfs http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk /mnt/disk

Works fine for me.
