no no noooooo.....don't make someone use vim ! :)

the subversion appliance has nano (which has the common commands
displayed at all times)  installed on it.

use this command

sudo nano /var/svnroot/wsmrepo/conf/passwd

Then, I think there's an example in the text file itself.  but the format is

user = password

after that, save it with ctrl-o, then enter, then ctrl-x then you're done.

almost any configuration file in a linux system is editable by any
text editor.
