Don't do it! Instead, keep the files on the same machine that's running
Apache, then run the hotcopy back-up script (using 'cron' or 'AT',
depending on OS) to take a database snapshot, zip it, date-stamp it, and
copy it over to the windows project file server. This will be a much
more reliable. I've seen lots of complaints about problems when the db
is on network-attached file server, whereas I have the setup described
above with about 15 developers and have NEVER encountered a "wedged"
repository that is (I think) the classic symptom of NAS-style
implementation problems.

Subject: Would this work? Using Apache/Samba to read Windows drive
I've setup my Subversion repository on our main project file server
(Win2003) mainly because it has a tape backup.
I've been using svnserve to access it but have been thinking about
setting up Apache. I don't really want to set it up on the Windows box
(which is already running IIS) but was wondering if I could setup Apache
on another box and simply mount my Windows drive and access it that way?
Anyone see any reason this wouldn't work?
Thanks!
Jim
