This should be emphasized more. Although the OP said he wanted the
users to be able to create new repositories, it is really a bad idea to
be able to do this through mapped file access (aside from that being a
bad idea in general for multiuser use) because it also means that anyone
can delete or overwrite your entire history with an inadvertent typo or
mouse wiggle.

And you need that in any case.
