Two developers sharing one working copy on a LAN

Hello Subversion users,

This is my first post. I'm awestruck by how amazingly wonderful
Subversion is.

Here is my question. I have a Mac and my partner has a second Mac,
and we're tag-teaming development on a WAMP (Windows Apache PHP
MySQL) server on our LAN. That is, we both have the same network
volume (WEBSERVER/www) mounted as a share on each of our Macs.

Can we both work on one (shared network volume) working copy?

It is working fine for me right now, and I just realized I wasn't
sure how to add on another developer or if that was a bad idea
altogether.

I realize that it is _meant_ for two developers to each have their
own working copy - but I'd rather not have two copies of this site on
our WAMP. Does that make sense? In other words, on my box I've done:

svn checkout [RepoURLOmitted] MyBox:/Volumes/WORKGROUP;WEBSERVER/
www/site.com

... can my colleague do...

svn checkout [RepoURLOmitted] HisBox:/Volumes/WORKGROUP;WEBSERVER/
www/site.com

... checking out his working copy to the same exact place on the
network, so we can both work on the exact same working copy?

or is this a dumb idea.

TIA,

Geoff
