These shared folders might be implemented as network shares. If so, Subversion does not like working on network shares so that should be avoided.

I'd like to be able to work on building in one VM and then test deployment in another without having to commit/sync a bunch of different trees.

DropBox perhaps? I'd say iCloud drive except it only exists on Yosemite and later.
