Heh. That is exactly the intent. See the machinery in configure.in to set up
the "templatedir" variable. Basically:

    PREFIX/share/subversion/VERSION/templates/in-repos/TEMPLATE-NAME/

(whew!)

A person can specify just a TEMPLATE-NAME, or a path.

That is the intent of the feature. An administrator can augment the set of
templates by adding them to .../templates/in-repos/ or .../on-disk/. From
then on, a user can just refer to them by name [rather than path].
