Wildcards in subversion.conf file?

Background:
        I have a site where there are numerous unrelated groups working
        on different projects, and I would like for them to have separate
        repositories. Project setup is fully automated.

Question:
        Is there a way to handle a large number of repositories, in a
        generic fashion, in the subversion.conf file?

Discussion:
        In Apache, it is possible to use wildcards in your virtual host
        definitions, and subsequently use the string that filled the
        wildcard as a substitution. E.g. --

            <VirtualHost *>
                ServerAlias *.mywebserver.net
                    VirtualDocumentRoot /whatever/%1/htdocs
                VirtualScriptAlias /whatever/%1/cgi-bin
            </VirtualHost>

        This way, a large number of websites can be added, without
        making any changes whatsoever to the httpd.conf file. This has
        the advantage of keeping the httpd.conf file from getting
        ridiculously huge, and saves us from having to restart the
        webserver on a regular basis, as new projects are added.

        I was curious if there is a similar wildcard technique that
        can be used in the subversion.conf file, or if I'm going to
        be stuck creating an entry in subversion.conf for every single
        repository. Any hints?

Thanks for your advice!

Tess
