No, no.  Just pointing out that if you init the repo on the server as, 
say, lvlam, and then have people trying to read/write to that repo as 
_svn, you're liable to run into permission issues because the 
owner/group on the files won't match the unix user trying to do things.

It was an "abundance of caution, check all the obvious stuff" sort of thing.
