Ok. Gotcha.

Who then provides the mapping between the SVN account name and OS
account name? If a file in the repos is set to be only editable by
bobjones, what do the OS perms look like?

I understand completely. I'm just sensing that this particular
solution to your problem is going to blossom into an unmaintainable
mushroom cloud. :-)
I am completely +1 on the Subversion *repository* having fine-grained
access control, but that's where it ends for me. CVS ticked me off
WAY too many times in the past by modifying my local disk perms,
continually breaking CGI scripts and their datafiles and stuff. I
don't want to end up there again.
