As to my knowledge, there is no configuration option on how svnserve is
called on the "other side" of the ssh tunnel. It is always called as
svnserve -t. This is hard-coded in subversion/libsvn_ra_svn/client.c. I
recently ran into the situation that I had to configure this.

Attached you find a quick patch that allows you to define how svnserve is
called via the environment variable SVN_SSH_SVNSERVE. In your case, setting

export SVN_SSH_SVNSERVE="svnserve -r /var/scm"

might be appropriate. The -t is still added automatically (which can
trivially be altered-- see the source and the patch).

The attached patch has been taken against subversion/libsvn_ra_svn/client.c
from subversion 1.1.0.
