Yes, but that's just mostly a technicality. The point of the hosted repo
is to push changes so that other developers can see them outside of svn or
to help move things between machines.

But yes, the actual dcommits would come from a local one.

I started mine using a bare one, but it was a waste of time. Using a
regular clone from svn made it easier to sync things back up with svn
periodically and avoid merging problems from the differences between my
local copies across machines.
