Yes that is correct.

Yes, I have no other option than to put repositories on network drive. From
what I have read in the docs it seems that it is not encouraged to use
file:/// protocol to access network repositories. I think as long as you use
svn:///, http(s):///, etc. protocols to access repos on network share it
should be fine.

What would be a good place to report this to SVN folks?
