Besides, if you really want SSH tunnelling, you can do it invisibly with
port forwarding; forward 127.0.0.1:80 to svnhost:80, configure svn to talk
to localhost instead of svnhost, and set up access restrictions on svnhost
to only allow connections FROM svnhost (either via Apache, or via host
firewall rules).

Simple, and no subversion modifications required. ;-)
