svnserve pointing at a NFS share = BAD there will be people who say that
you can mount a repo on NFS shares, but its a very bad idea because it blows
up in unexpected and subtle ways
a better way is to have a master server and then use slave servers and
svnsync. the slaves will only be able to do checkouts, but I have a feeling
that doesnt matter in your case
if you want to be able to track who did what, you need some kind of
authentication, even if they have empty passwords; otherwise you will get
anonymous commits on everything
