If for some reason you insist on using SVN for your exam turn-in, then I guess I would suggest:

  1. Create a folder for each student. Maybe even per student, per assignment.
  2. Give each student full access (read-write) but ONLY to their own folder.
  3. If needed, install a pre-commit server-side hook to disallow any modifications, only allowing "add" operations.

But I still think SVN is the wrong tool for the job.

You can't have Write permissions (importing to repo is writing) without Read permissions. Three possible types of access for repository are only NONE|READ|READWRITE
