You can store the documents on a subversion server not on your computer.

Maybe I'm missing something (quite possible) , but filesystem compatibility shouldn't be an issue anyways with ntfs-3g (usually installed by default on todays Linux systems) or ext2ifs that's very easy to set up on windows. I'd recommend using NTFS though, as I trust ntfs-3g more than ext2ifs (especially for the newer ext3 fs R/W)

I was looking at it strictly from a simplicity POV. With FAT32 there is no need for special drivers and the partition would be accessible even via a LiveCD. If you are willing to accept the additional work and don't need universal access, then any of your suggested solutions would work just fine.

justice:
If it's a small project you can look at something like BeanStalk. Or if you're adventurous try something like JungleDisk and a subversion repository on the webdrive.

f0dder:
Btw., I'd definitely recommend putting the repository on a server - saves you grief if you harddrive crashes on the development machine (yeah yeah, backups etc., but a server means additional protection). It's also nice being able to access code from wherever, even if I don't use that feature that often (once I get a laptop, though...)

BeanStalk looks pretty cute and not toooo expensive, but I guess you do pay for peace of mind and simplicity - considering you could get a dreamhost (or whatever) account and set up stuff yourself...

Shades:
Try the software behind this link:

http://www.visualsvn.com/server/

This is a free SVN server that is really easy to set up (did it myself on Windows XP + SP2  ;))
Works ideal with TortoiseSVN (http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org)

As far as I remember, both tools are free to use.

Unfortunately I don't know nothing about Linux SVN client software, but doing a little Google-ing will turn up many results I assume.

justice:
I've started using http://assembla.com casually for the last few days it offers unlimited repositories with 500mb free of charge, read their faq (http://www.assembla.com/wiki/show/breakoutdocs/FAQ) but it might be a great solution, it is for me.
