Yes, of course. You just have to follow the preferred way of using a
Subversion repository. For this you have to install a Subversion server
on the machine holding the repositories ("snidely"). No network share
has to be created resp. mounted by the clients.

The server can be based on a stand-alone server process (svnserve) or
on an Apache HTTP server. svnserve uses only one TCP port (default:
3690). Both don't depend on any Microsoft-like stuff (SMB, CIFS, ...).

Before you ask how to install such a server you have to read the
Subversion documentation. And there have been LOTS of discussions if
the svnserve or Apache based server is better. Short answer: It depends
on your requirements. Apache allow more detailed access rights and user
authentication against LDAP, svnserve is faster and has very simple
configuration files with cleartext passwords.

For your first experiments I recommend svnserve since you are
independent of a properly configured Apache web server.

With best regards
Andreas
