TortoiseSVN requires read access to the repository root for some
commands to work properly. You can set up the permissions so that all
users have read access to the root, then block the access to its
subfolders and give access to the folders you need below that.

But the revision graph will only work if the user has read access to the
  repo root and all folders which the target folder (the one to show the
graph for) has been copied/moved to.

Note that also some svn commands require read access to the repository root.
