How to control where to put .subversion directory

Not sure if this is even possible but subversion place the ".subversion"
directory based on your unix environment variable called $HOME. Well, on
one server, we have specifically specify $HOME to a location that could be
deleted in the future. If that's the case, then there goes the
".subversion" information. So, can the ".subversion" directory be backed
up and manually move it somewhere else? I'm assuming not since the
subversion program is relying on the $HOME variable. If that directory
every got lost, what's the best approach on recovering it so that
subversion can still function as normal. Thanks for your inputs.
