Anyway,  you must learn how to use and administer svn properly, and a

Do not put your repository on a shared drive. Do not use file:
protocol to access it. It is not designed to work in such way. Read
the documentation (aka svnbook) and configure a proper server.

This should be emphasized more. Although the OP said he wanted the users to be able to create new repositories, it is really a bad idea to be able to do this through mapped file access (aside from that being a bad idea in general for multiuser use) because it also means that anyone can delete or overwrite your entire history with an inadvertent typo or mouse wiggle.

Do not forget to do regular backups (dumps).

And you need that in any case.
