> Sorry, Daniel, I don't know a way to accomplish all those objectives. The only options Subversion provides are:
Symlinks to locally accessible filesystems works pretty well,
especially if you put them in /var/www/svn/ and configure
appropriately. That lets you enable and disable repositories with a
single symlink change.
