Probably not. I keep my home directory in Subversion, and since I'm the
sole user, I keep the repository on my main workstation and access it
using file:/// from there. I access it from remote machines using
svn+ssh:///.

It's simple, sweet, and does the job for me, however, for repositories
that I share with others, I've got an apache setup on a server on the
net and I give access to specific directories using mod_authz_svn so
that I don't have to give folks ssh access to the server.
