Poo. Make tweak-log.cgi understand the PATH_INFO portion of a CGI
request, and let it validate that PATH_INFO as a Subversion repository
before going any further. Or, you could give tweak-log a
configuration file which lists repositories, like ViewCVS has.

Bad plan. This will quite complicate an existing, simple code path
for making these kinds of changes, for absolutely no gain.

We keep tweak-log on svn.collab.net behind <Limit> configuration tags,
and it uses the same AuthUserFile that the repository does.
