Recognizing that OS/packaging is only one small part of the issue, we
will want to specify a reference system in terms like these...

Essentials

   * OS and installation procedure
     - see above
   * Subversion access methods:
     - http, https (mod_dav_svn)
     - svn (svnserve)
     - domain name / IP address / ports
   * authn & authz:
     - manually configured authn
     - manually configured authz rules
     - some semi-realistic examples of each
   * an automated backup, of some sort
     - see below
   * repo organization
     - single repo
     - many repos

Bonus extras

   * LDAP integration
   * an svnsync mirror configuration
   * scripted creation of repositories from templates
   * hook scripts: semi-realistic examples
   * ...

Some of these -- such as "an automated backup, of some sort" -- will
lead to us having to discuss what is going to be our best practice
recommendation. I think the need to deal with issues like that would be
an important and valuable outcome of this project.
