I have a setup where there are users of svn+ssh who are not permitted
any other access to the system. During the setup, I happened to
read-up on rbash. Turns out that this is a really nice way to
restrict what people can do with the system. In a nutshell, it allows
you to configure a user to have access only to applications you
explicitly provide. So, you may be able to use this features, along
with a wrapper scripts, to limit a user's access.
