It says:
To begin, locate the home directory of the account you'll be using to
launch svnserve.
But I would guess that svnserve is started by ssh. And since the login
process is taken care of by ssh, there is no single user that launches
svnserve. So I am a bit confused.

However, the rpm created the directory :
/etc/subversion
so would prefer to put it there. Why is subversion assuming that the
place for that file is in /etc/opt/ ... ?
