Network filesystems are notoriously unreliable, particularly when
dealing with large, somewhat randomly accessed files, which is a perfect
description of what's in a typical repository.  You usually share a
repository by placing it on a server machine and using some form of
client/server CVS to access it (with the CVS server running on the
machine with the repository).  However, all of the reported problems
have been interoperability problems, so if you have a completely
homogeneous environment (e.g., all Windows machines), you probably won't
have any problems using a network share for the repository.
