RE: Encrypted Repository?

Hello,

Nope. In a shared environment the administrators can do anything they wish
to, including tampering with your encrypted drive. The only way I've thought
of to get around this problem is to host all your code yourself (get an old
desktop, dump a linux server distro on it, pump in Apache and install SVN).
