I put it under:
/home/svn
I simply use `adduser` to create an svn user and group. I put each developer
in the svn group. As the svn user I use "svnadmin create /home/svn/src" to
initialize the "src" repository. Then I do `chmod -R g+w /home/srv/src` on
the repository directory. I don't know if this is the best way to do it, but
it's easy. I don't think it is correct to give group write to all of the
repository because then idle hands could modify the conf or hooks directory,
but we have a small group, so it's "OK" for the time being. I was actually
planning to write this mailing list to ask what is the best way to setup
group access to the repository. In our group we use svn+ssh for connecting to
the repository. I like this setup because it's easy to manage the access. I
just have to add them to the svn group.
I don't like /usr/local/svn for the repository data. /var/svn sounds a little
better, but I'm sticking with /home/svn until somebody tells me why that's
bad.
