We used this set-up for a while on a few small jobs, when we were
first learning svn (we used TortoiseSVN exclusively).
It works, for sure. However as your repositories/jobs/users grow,
file:// becomes increasingly slow and inadqeuate. When I took control
of things and set up svnserve things got about 20x faster.
My advice is to set up svnserve, it's light and stable.
