The usual approach is that everyone checks out their own
workspace copy wherever they want, so any build scripts
would use relative paths only. The checkout/update/commit
steps usually aren't scripted since only the programmer
knows when they should be done. It is sort-of irrelevant
if you want to run subversion on one platform and access
the working copy from others via NFS, but I'd think it would
be more convenient to check out copies where you work. If
you always use relative paths, it won't matter either way.
