Full control.

Very bad idea. When you do this, anyone can corrupt or even delete the
whole repository with one errant keystroke. And you have no path-based
authorization. If someone uses a newer client with the repository,
older ones may not be able to read it. There /may/ be concurrency
concerns as well, but I'm not 100% sure on that.
Have a look at the final bullet point on
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.serverconfig.choosing.html
Set up a proper SVN server, you'll be much better off.
