This is correct.

svn+ssh:// does NOT require a full path to the repository if it's set up
properly :)

See http://www.contactor.se/~dast/svnusers/archive-2003-08/0548.shtml

Actually, I'll quote from it here:

        To get around this, you can use the "-r" switch to svnserve.
        Just bare in mind that in "tunnel" mode (i.e. when using the
        svnserve protocol over SSH etc.) svnserve must be run with the
        -t switch. Otherwise everything will still be anonymous. You
        can do this by using SSH keys and then putting something like
        this in the authorized_keys file:

        command="svnserve -t -r /home/svn" ssh-dss AAAAB3...

        (see the ssh docs for more details.)

        This is not necessary if you do not want to use the "-r" switch.
