I'd add that IMHO It's far nicer to use svn+ssh than http. You don't have to mess about with all the apache setup, permissions, etc etc. The first few repos I set up, I went through the whole apache webdav etc etc painful. Then I found the svn+ssh and use that every time now.

$svn co svn+ssh://myhost/var/svn/repos

Just setup passwordless ssh if you haven't already, and it works like a dream.

I say svn+ssh is perfect for working solo.

It can also work great for a team (multiple ssh keys, one per user, single 'svn' account on the server). That is, until you want to add some authorization/access control--that's a job for Apache + mod_dav + authz.

Good point... Easy (for me) to forget large teams exist ;)
