Subversion doesn't push changes out to the clients. That is not what it was
intended for. Sounds like you want something more like a file sharing
utility.
But if you want to use Subversion, what Ben is suggesting is that you make
the users' home directories a working copy and update them all from the
same repository. But the update has to be done on they client side.
You can set up a repository hook which sends an email to notify people that
they need to update.
