The simple trick to user rights I use is to make the repo owned by www-data to give Apache access and use group permissions for svn+SSH. I'm not sure if acl's work or not.
I always viewed svn as just being a method to interact with individual repos... it really has no clue what is going on outside of its own world. To handle this issue, I made a wrapper script for svnadmin that parses the input and output and logs to an SQL database which I then access through Apache to build a display list of repos (and change logs).

Not quite. It's not "every subdirectory", it's "every child directory". That means it will not descend into subdirectories of subdirectories, fir example, so they all need to be right there in /var/svn. Also, while symlinks to other locations may be acceptable to the mod_dav_svn module, the repositories need to be accessible to the "apache" user. This can get adventuresome if you're running svnserve or svn+ssh access without a devault svn+ssh user, used in parallel to Apache.
