It all depends on your access method. If you use Apache and ra_dav, you
can use mod_authz_svn to do fine-grained access control. See
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/svnbook/ch06s04.html#svn-ch-6-sect-4.4.2 for
more information.

If you're using ra_svn (svn://) or svn+ssh, you're out of luck, and will
need to physically split your repositories.

svnadmin dump /path/to/repos | svndumpfilter --exclude /misc/personal |
svnadmin load /path/to/new/repos

will get you through.

Hope that helps !
