You don't need to start the svnserve when trying to access the repository
using svn+ssh.
I believe the client sends to command over to the server to start svnserve.
This usually means that svnserve should be in the default system path in
order to start svnserve. And by default (unless you do some tricks:
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/notes/ssh-tricks) it starts the server
without the -r param. So the client has to provide the full path in the URL.

So, as explained above, this is the right way to access the repository using
svn+ssh.
However, I am lost why it could not find the repository. The only remotely
possible reason I can think of is that the repository is not readable to
'user'. Usually the problem in such instances is when svnserve is not in the
system path and it could not start it when executing the command. But in
that case the error is not "No repository found". That error usually means
just that -- no repository found.
