I can't comment on your specific situation, but Subversion repositories are designed to be accessed by multiple concurrent processes, even if these processes are located on separate hosts. When using a single instances of Apache, for example, multiple requests can often spawn multiple processes which all interact (correctly) with the Subversion repository. In addition, the write-serialization window is relatively small, and writers do not block readers, so even during long-running parallel commits, read operations will still work as expected. Throwing NFS in the mix here may complicate things a bit, but probably not by much. -Hyrum
