basically yes.


What's the SVN equivalent of the CVSROOT directory?

but in practice no.
there is no CVSROOT equivalent in subversion.
subversion itself does no nothing about authentication and 
authorisation: this is left for a frontend.
the usual frontend (the one sourceforge is using) is via http/webdav;
an ACL needs to made available to the frontend; for apache, this is 
usually done via a special file on the filesystem (which is read by the 
apache-server); more info under [1].
sourceforge would need to provide a means to write this special file; in 
my privat svn-setups, i haven't found a way to split this configuration 
into a per-repository file (instead of per-webserver) - but that might 
be just my personal failure; this might be the reason why sourceforge 
does not provide any means of ACLs for svn (yet).
