Re: programmatic API for repository creation

Yeah, the more I think about it, that's what I'm leaning more
towards---just running a webapp on https://svn.example.com:8080 and
shelling to svnadmin for certain commands. Maybe
https://svn.example.com:8080/svnadmin/create or something.

Thanks for all the feedback.
