Not particularly useful in my particular instance, since I'd rather have
unique logins. Oh! Wait! I'm now remembering that svnserve.conf file...
I *can* have unique logins with svnserve. Oh yeah (sorry, still very
green to Subversion). But the passwords sit in a file unencrypted. Icky.
And I have to maintain multiple user/password databases, rather than
using the system one.

However, I'd still be intrigued to hear how to wrap svnserve in stunnel.
