Well, see Chapter six of the 1.4 SVN book on page 144:

If you have an existing infrastructure heavily based on SSH accounts, and
if your users already have system accounts on your server machine, then it
makes sense to deploy an svnserve-over-ssh solution. Otherwise, we don't
widely recommend this option to the public. It's generally considered
safer to have your users access the repository via (imaginary) accounts
managed by svnserve or Apache, rather than by full-blown system accounts.
If your deep desire for encrypted communication still draws you to this
option, we recommend using Apache with SSL instead.

My users must be members of a certain group. This groups gets full write
access to the corresponding repository files. So everything (seems) to
work fine. Perhaps it only seems so?

Perhaps I read the above in a wrong way: it is not recommended, but
perhaps it doesn't mean that it is forbidden...

:)

Marko
