The book says this:

  Do not create a Berkeley DB repository on a network share --
  it cannot exist on a remote filesystem such as NFS, AFS, or Windows SMB.
  
  If you need multiple computers to access the repository, you create an FSFS
  repository on the network share, not a Berkeley DB repository. Or better yet,
  set up a real server process (such as Apache or svnserve)
(http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch05s02.html)

So as long as Braulio doesn't use Berkeley DB he's doing nothing
explicitely forbidden by the book.

Nevertheless, I myself would never use a repo over any kind
of network filesystem either.
