Multiple users/repositories + Apache

I am a sysadmin in a university department with several hundred users. I
want to be able to create separate http-enabled repositories for them on
the fly without needing to restart apache. Something like this:

/svn/user1/repos1
/svn/user1/repos2
...
/svn/user2/repos1
/svn/user2/repos2
...
etc

Obviously I don't want to add several hundred Location directives to
httpd.conf to specify the SVNParentPath for each user.

What I've managed to do so far is setup the following:

/svn/repos1
/svn/repos2
...

Access to each repos is controlled per user by mod_authz_svn. However,
this requires all repository authorizations to be configured in a single
AuthzSVNAccessFile and if several users (eg. in a class) try to
create/update their repository access config at the same time, we get file
locking issues on that file.

Is there any other way to make this work? Any advice warmly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ed
