Once the repository is created the users will be accessing it either through
svn:// or http:// and NOT with file:/// Although I still want the users to
be able to create repository using TSVN because they are not familiar with
Linux at all and also that they won't have to wait for some admin person
(let's say myself) to just create a repository for them.
