Just FYI, there is absolutely no reason to eliminate svv+ssh from consideration
because you don't want to give all users logins:

http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#ssh-svnserve-location

That is actually a much more secure methodology, since it doesn't require the
user to remember any password - other than their private key's, if they set one
- which is much more secure than any password.

And doing it that way has no effect on whether you use the internal access
control available to svnserve.
