It might be nice if there were a README.Fedora included that covered
this, but there isn't (yet).

If you install mod_dav_svn it will add a subversion.conf file in
/etc/httpd/conf.d.  It loads the modules and has instructions for
creating a repository.  It also points out some issues to be aware of
if you have SELinux enabled.  Creating fine grained access control
with mod_authz_svn is left up to the user.

I don't think there's a similar package that will quickly enable the
svnserve daemon, but I've only looked quickly.  mod_dav_svn suits my
needs well.

No repositories are created by the subversion package nor is there any
particular area set aside strictly for this purpose as far as I know.

If you haven't checked it out already, the book Version Control with
Subversion[1] is quite nice and covers a lot of configuration and
usage scenarios.  I found it invaluable and the instructions there
applied well to the Fedora installed packages.
