Where did you hear that?

I did that, and I ended up with corrupted repository.  But it was a few
years ago, probably svn 1.2.  So maybe they improved it since then?

IMHO, there's no reason *not* to lock down the repo directory, and run
everything through svnserve.  It's the only way (aside from apache) that I
feel the repo is safe.  Plus suddenly you can access it from windows clients
and make it available to other networks and so on.  (IMHO, tortoisesvn and
tortoise diff are enormous value-adds.)

Also if you're using file:/// to access the repo, does it keep track of
which users made which changes?
