I'm probably missing something obvious here, or have my head on
sideways, but how does one reconcile ACL stuffs between the repository
and the current OS of the client in light of the fact that someone's
login/username on the computer might be completely different than the
name used for committed to the repository?

I mean, generally speaking, are we talking about Subversion attemping
to use the OS to mirror permission sets described to the client by the
repository?

Be gentle. (:-]
