Would it be possible to setup a version control repository ( maybe
subversion [sic]) so all the machines could access the source code and
supporting application files?

see http://mindprod.com/jgloss/versioncontrol.html

In short, CVS, Subversion and the other major players set up version control repositories that not only can be reached on the LAN, but on the WAN (i.e., over the Web).

Version control would be pretty worthless if you couldn't do that, since its main use case is for team projects.

That said, I use CVS for even my one-person projects. I am my own teammate in that scenario - and I sure do appreciate the ability to back off versions, track changes, and deploy specific snapshots.

Anyway, bottom line, every useful version control system (and many of the less useful ones, like ClearCase or the MKS offering) has network accessibility as one of its most fundamental features. So, OP, yes to your question.

Have a go at the documentation - it's pretty remarkable how much information one can glean from the manual.
