Are you using file:// URLs? You should either be using svnserve or
Apache httpd as your Subversion server. Fortunately, you can easily do
that without having to do anything with your repository. Even when I
have a personal Subversion repository and I'm the only user, I still
use svnserve.


I'm curious: why?

Is it because you need authz, or run svnserve as a different user, or
because you prefer to have a one-stop way to stop everything from
accessing the repository, ...?

A big reason is so you or someone else can't delete or corrupt the whole repository (accidentally or otherwise) because all your programs have direct write access at the filesystem level.
