Well, I only want _one_ copy of my private key :)
Or are we talking the private key filename? Hmm, ofcourse, that just
depends on how it is implemented.

What I would like to do is something like storing the public key in
the repository access definitions file. Maybe as a 4th thing in
svn_security.

striker : <public key>

But, like I said, this is probably something for after 1.0. I'm
inclined to take a look at a sql fs backend first...
