I'm going to save you several hours' worth of researching: NTFS isn't
capable of handling ':' characters in path names. There is no simple
way to handle this, client-side, even in SVN.
You present a great idea, though--virtual machines! Each Windows user
could install and run a whole virtual machine, and just switch over to
using Linux. That sounds like a fantastic idea. It's so easy, too--all
I'd have to do is:
- install virtualization software on those workstations
- find or build a suitable Linux image
- convince Windows users that the memory and disk sacrifices are worthwhile
- teach/convince Windows users to use a Linux interface, dev tools, etc.
- support the users, maintain the Linux images, etc.
Man, and I was going to write a 10-line BASH script that runs a couple
of 'ip addr' commands. Crazy, I know--I'm glad I can use virtualization
to solve this problem, instead.

That's a bit of a philosophical question, isn't it?
But this is getting kind of silly. My original question has been
answered: The Fedora network init scripts DO NOT support multiple IPs,
end of story.
