Hmmm, wasn't this one of the most common source of grief and
asked a *lot* here? AFAIR it is *strongly* discouraged to rw
export repos _and_ operate on them directly at the server. This
holds true even more when talking about different platforms or
networking software releases (like Unix <-> Win/DoS <-> Mac <->
whatever).

As soon as there are two machines or more the only choice seems
to be to make one of them the repo server and *only* access the
stuff via c/s protocol, i.e. having the server handle the repo
*exclusively*. No matter how fast other solutions could be
implemented (in terms of "Samba is already there, pserver/ssh is
new to me"), the gain is gone once the trouble comes up -- which
is just a question of when, not of whether it happens.
