If Subversion used an SVN_CONFIG_DIR environment variable to override
the default ~/.subversion/ then you could maintain multiple
configurations in different directories (possibly with any common
files linked together) and choose which to use with something like
'export SVN_CONFIG_DIR=$HOME/.subversion/$SITE/'.
This won't work if the configuration is all just one big file.
