Why shouldn't you just get everyone to use file:// directly? I don't
see what the svnserve-in-the-middle is buying you.
Or, better, get any old junk system and install a real server on it.
Don't tell IT -- they are obviously idiots anyway. Then point that
single instance of svnserve to a repo up on a server and let it (and
only it) use SvnUser. All your users just use svn:// to that faux-
server.
Note, however, that in all cases you are going via a file-level
protocol over the wire to the repo. While I'm not aware of any
technical issues with this, I cannot but think that it is going to be
less robust than a server running against a local file system.
