Plan B: What about volunteering your manager's PC as a server? If it's
only the 5 of you, and the repository is on a network share, the load
shouldn't be a big deal. Unless you all are constantly rebooting or
doing massive updates or are just beating your machines to death, any
workstation could run as a subversion server. Given that svn is
designed for offline work, any old pc or cheap new PC bought with your
manager's credit card from the local electronics store should work for a
small team.
As far as I can tell, the manual doesn't specifically state that it's
safe for multiple file:// clients on different boxes to hit a network
share repository. It does say that a "repository can be accessed
simultaneously by clients running on the same machine on which the
repository resides using the file:// method." I would be worried about
whether Samba and the network share detect/support/respect file locks
correctly.
Good luck.
