--tunnel-user is intended to be used with svn+ssh:// access and ssh
keys, with the command option in your .ssh/authorized_keys file. the
idea is that you have a single user on the server who has access to the
repository, and each person you want to have access gives you their key,
which you then set up in the authorized_keys file so that access via
that key only runs svnseve --tunnel-user theirusername.

I may have some of the details wrong, it's been a while since I played
with ssh and the command option, but that's the general idea.
Unfortunately I don't think this is well documented anywhere yet.
