   svn+ssh:// runs the command 'ssh remotehost svnserve -t'. The
temporary svnserve process running on remotehost runs as *you*, and
speaks to your client over the ssh tunnel. It's just as if you were on
the remotehost accessing the repository directly via file:///.

Ergo, the only thing that can control file:/// or svn+ssh:// access is
Unix-level permissions on the repository itself. Not always easy to do,
if you have multiple users. Be sure to see the 'checklist' at the end
of chapter 6 if you plan to do that.
