It's not supported, so you should/must not do it. Think about it:
whatever name you choose for the name of your 'internal' repository,
you'll have to create a folder with that name inside the repository. But
that repository folder is not for you to create files/folders -
Subversion might one day use its own folder with the name you chose for
your internal repository - then you're really, really screwed.
And: I can tell you right now that some svn clients will not work
correctly with such a setup (I know for sure that TSVN doesn't).
So: don't do it.
