You can install the commandline client that comes with TortoiseSVN by checking the "command line tools" option in the installer. If you have those installed, you can simply open a cmd window, go to G:\ or C:\User\Data, and run 'svn revert' (or 'svn revert -R' if you want to perform the revert operation recursively -- be aware that you'll throw away local uncommitted changes this way, but I assume you know what revert does). I'd like to point out that sharing a working copy this way, allowing multiple users to access the same working copy from different machines (especially if they might use it concurrently), is quite dangerous, and you risk corrupting your working copy (see [1] from TortoiseSVN's FAQ). I'd strongly advise against it. The normal usage pattern is that every user / machine checks out its own working copy from the central repository, runs 'svn update' regularly to keep it updated, and works from their own copy.
