Do you really need svn?  Having a file writable by both is all that you need.  
I rarely use Gnucash under Windows.  When I do, I simply copy my data file 
across.

Having a file writable by both is the ideal solution.  I tried writing to 
Windows with the ntfs-3g app, and lost everything, although in hindsight, 
there was some problem with the connections to my SATA HD.   From the Windows 
side, I use Ext2IFS_1_10c.exe, which is freeware.
