Everything else that runs with your apache user (eg. any scripts on the
web server) can read/write the repository and potentially mess it up

Apache (and SVN WebDAV) cannot write it (except if the permissions are
broad enough).

You should stick with apache running SVN, but take some care what else
runs there.

Use authz. The same chapter as the description of the DAV installation. ;-)

You can then specify different ACLs for each repository.
