I had thought of that... the problem is something like:
C:\svn\Personal\Ryan\(repo)
It's just pushing the problem back further. I and anyone creating a repository would have to edit the Apache config. The particular Subversion usage in this case requires multiple people to be creating and managing repositories who have no business being in the Apache config. For this reason, I'm looking for something fairly simple such that creating and managing repositories is a stepped process that basically only touches Subversion, or at least that I can set up and only need to modify occasionally.
It would still work. It just takes a lot more planning on my part on the actual directories involved for the solution to fit the above requirements (i.e. I'm the only one touching Apache). I suppose this is fine, at least until a case comes up that borks for the original reasons.
