That's apparently a Windows thing. Under *nix, you can reference

        svn://server/usr/local/lib/svn/repos/project

and it will work (as long as the -r option has not been passed in). If the
author of the Windows service has broken this "feature" that is their problem.

But you are missing the big picture: under svnserve, the only location for
server configuration is in the repositories themselves - there is no master
config file anywhere. The only global feature for svnserve is the '-r' option,
which only determines the least common path for repositories (meaning that all
repositories must appear somewhere under that path). It would be perfectly
reasonable to pass '-r /home' and allow any named user to have their own
repository served up from '/home/username/repos'.

On the other hand, under Apache, the configuration stanzas of the Apache conf
file controls the entire SVN DAV service (in addition to the repository level
configuration files). This is a truly global configuration, and is one reason
why SVNParentPath can function.
