Homebrew Subversion Server

Been considering doing my own svn hosting with Dropbox. I don't see any reason why the repository couldn't be stored in the cloud, as in:

file:///home/user/Dropbox/svnrepo

No need for a third party subversion host (using xp-dev right now).

Also, I think trac can be replaced easily. I have not really taken advantage of the wiki or bug tracking functions, so I am essentially using it as a glorified graphical diff tool.

Looking into RapidSVN and SVN Workbench in conjunction with meld.

Update: Also looking at RabbitVCS. And Dropbox supports folder sharing, which show up in other users' Dropboxes. Hence a private repository among multiple users is possible.
