Please don't. Use file:/// protocol only for testing or for a single
developer on a local machine. Anything more than that and you should
set up a server. Otherwise, you have to give all people complete
access to the repository files, meaning they can circumvent any
access controls or hooks you may want to install, and they can even
accidentally erase the entire thing. Just don't do it. Set up
svnserve. It's easy. Or set up Apache if you need more features.
