I understood the docs to say that even read-only access to the
repository requires that the server have R/W access to all its files.

 http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.0/ch06s05.html

But, even if the svnserve daemon has R/W access all the time, can't it
still grant individual users R/O access via its built-in authorization
mechanism?
