Your workstations can have their local/working copies of subversion files stored on an NFS server. See: http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#nfs CVS would work as well.
We typically do all of our development under Eclipse, including C++ and Assembler source code editing, but any workstation IDE or editor will work. If you are OK with this, then you can either: 1) put your sources on z/OS zFS or HFS and then share then with workstation NFS clients. 2) put your sources on some other NFS server and share them to z/OS as an NFS client. Then, use a Unix shell on z/OS and "make" to build your z/OS code - assembler is no problem and you can build to z/OS load modules just fine. Once you get the hang of make, it has many advantages over building with JCL. But: you can still use JCL to build systems where the source is in zFS/HFS/NFS if you want. Basically, z/OS is used just like a Unix server - except that you can build regular old load modules if you want. On the other hand, if you want to develop code under ISPF in a traditional manner, you can still sync the files somehow with your workstation (NFS, FTP, WSA., etc) when you want to check in/out changes to a Subversion or CVS. You don't need to have a z/OS client.
