Just another comment to make the point clear - When you Checkout a project 
from SVN, you basically set up a "synced offline folder" on your computer 
with that specific version of the files (usually the latest unless chosen 
otherwise)... 

So SVN is in it's core pretty much the exact same thing as what windows 
Sharedfolders with "Available Offline" on them. 
You just get a whole lot of more features when you use SVN (like keeping a 
history of all the files, being able to share the project with more users 
and etc)
