Then your real problem is that svnserve does exist and is executable
at all and not that some managing tools create maybe unneeded
configuration files. Having unneeded and executable binaries on the
system but speeking of security over everything and as the one and
only truth seems funny to me. The unneeded configuration file is step
2, the first one is to get rid of svnserve. But without svnserve and
therefore the need, that an attacker has to provide it's own one,
speaking is able to write anything to your system, the pre existing
configuration files are not a problem at all anymore, in my opinion.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

Thorsten Schöning
