Advantage of local svn versus client

[mdean77 <md...@comcast.net>]

Is there a fundamental advantage of using Apache or svnserve over 
simply using svn with a local repository?  I know the potential 
advantage of the repository being on a different machine, but if I am a 
single user, using a single machine, and just want version control, 
should I still be looking beyond the pure local file:/// accessed 
repository?

Probably not.  I keep my home directory in Subversion, and since I'm the
sole user, I keep the repository on my main workstation and access it
using file:/// from there.  I access it from remote machines using
svn+ssh:///.

It's simple, sweet, and does the job for me, however, for repositories
that I share with others, I've got an apache setup on a server on the
net and I give access to specific directories using mod_authz_svn so
that I don't have to give folks ssh access to the server.
