#765: svn versioning crashes server if user home is write protected or does not
exist
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------

-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
I have a tomcat instance that has the tomcat user. The tomcat user is not
a full user and there for the home directory does not behave as "normal"
home directories. Most importantly it seems the tomcat user cannot write
to it... Looking at the server it appears not even to exist. Therefore
subversion explodes when trying to write authentication credentials.
The credentials location needs to be able to be configured. or perhaps
default to data directory to make it portable.
along that vein, is there any reason the subversion directory doesn't
default to a subdirectory datadir as well?
Here is stack trace:
Raised exception while starting appl handler. Skipped.
