Got an error box which said "invalid filesystem type"

I wonder if it is formatted NTFS... that would choke Fedora.

I want to use this drive to store my subversion repository. What steps to I need to take to make this work?

Do I need to reformat the drive to ext3?  Do I need to modify my fstab?

Just reformmating the thing ext3 would work

mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdX1

if that fails try just /dev/sdX

tail -f /var/log/messages

and insert the drive to find out what letter X should be. Be sure you don't use, say, sda when sda is your internal SATA drive for example!
