Perhaps the thing to do is to create a basic, simple repository inside
of your /etc/skel/public_html folder. Set it up the way you want with
any hook scripts or default .htaccess files configured with basic
authentication. If you have Apache configured properly, each user will
be able to access their own repository after they are created.
I base this on what I think should work for a <Location ~/svn> directive
that would basically map to the users home web directory.
Something like:
toybox:/etc/skel # svnadmin create svn
toybox:/etc/skel/public_html # cd svn
toybox:/etc/skel/public_html/svn # ls
README.txt conf dav db format hooks locks
toybox:/etc/skel/public_html/svn #
I can't think of any good way to get the system to dynamically build a
SVNAccessFile, so basic authentication might have to work.
Just my 2 cents.
