*DON'T*. Seriously, use the WebDAV version. The svnserver alone is
distinctly insecure, since the passwords are sent in the clear. ssh+svnserve
works, but then you need to set up SSH services, which I don't recommend for
a hosted service.

Give them each their own repository. Put it in the user's "home directory"
on the server, and use the quotas or use the quota management on *that*.
