I strongly recommend you do not attempt to have multiple users
accessing a repository over the file:// protocol. It is not meant for
that. Please run svnserve or apache on a server. It does not have to
be a dedicated server; any computer you have that is on during the
times when the repository is to be accessed will probably be sufficient.
Though you can do yourself a favor now and define a new DNS alias for
that computer specifically for Subversion. So if your server's usual
address is henry.example.com, define a new DNS CNAME that points
svn.example.com to henry.example.com. Have everyone access your
repository using svn.example.com. That way if you later need to move
the repositories to a different server or to a dedicated server, you
won't have to inform anyone of a new address; you'll just have to
change the DNS alias.
