I've set up apache in our company on a small server which our admin
barely uses. Then, I made the directory under which I have the
repositories (the one the SVNParentPath points to) shared on the network
(network share), but with read/write access only for me and one other.
Now, we can create new repositories from our desk:
- go the the shared folder
- create a new folder in it with the name of the new project
- right-click, choose "TortoiseSVN->Create Repository here..."
- choose FSFS or BDB
and we're done.

Note: if you choose to create BDB repositories, make absolutely sure
that *no one* can access it via file:/// on that network share, or it
will get corrupted!
