Do multiple svnserve instances collide?

Hi All,

Troy:
Thanks, I'm aware of the Berkeley DB issue.

I could tell stories. It would be off-topic and also *very* long.

Maybe I wasn't clear. The users would _not_ have any read or write
rights (on the file system level) for the repo. They would run
svnserve on their desktops in the name of a dedicated user SvnUser,
the same SvnUser everywhere. The repository is readable/writable only
by its owner SvnUser. My question was: Does this have a chance (pure
technically)? Could svnserve progams running on different machines
(and accessing the same repo) have conflicts with each other?

BTW, my worst fear in not an evil user but an accidential deletion. I
know that what I proposed is silly and not totally secure. But I
can't see any other semi-reasonable way -- without a server process.
Can you maybe?

Gabor
