Re: svnserve running as on-demand daemon process on Mac OS X

I already replied with a sample launchd script, but again, you don't
really need a separate user. (This may depend on your level of control
on the machine.) I just installed all my repositories in a /svn
directory at the root of the boot volume. Some people prefer /
subversion or some other variant.

If you'd like to have the directory be invisible, and you have the
Xcode tools installed, you can use this command:

        /Developer/Tools/SetFile -a V /svn

This will set the invisible bit, such as is the case for many of the
invisible directories in the root volume, such as /usr, /tmp, etc.
(Note that the file will not actually turn invisible until the Finder
is relaunched.)

TinkerTool should also work for making files/directories invisible.
