It would be a very simple feature just to have a password so that not everyone can perform a checkout. It's a bit hard to imagine that that can not be done.

That does not encrypt or otherwise restrict access if someone has
direct access to the filesystem. The authentication discussed in the
manual is a layer between the client and the repository data. If
you've got the actual repository database directly accessible, for all
intents & purposes that protection doesn't exist
