Auto-encrypt file submissions with public key?

Hello,

I want to be able to provide subversion repositories over the web to a
secure community (possibly of only a couple people to start with). SSL
login/access authentication will be nice for starters. However, I'd like to
go beyond access control; I'd like to automatically encrypt the file contents.

I would like to have Subversion auto-encrypt any file submissions/updates
to it's repository (with something like a PGP public key), thus requiring
anyone who gets/reads said file to have some sort of private decryption
mechanism (like a PGP private key associated with the aforementioned public
key) in order to view/use/read/access any of the contents of said file.

Does anyone know of some existing mechanisms to do this? I suspect I will
have to build some things myself, but I'm hoping to minimize my efforts.

The option is that the subversion users simply encrypt the file(s) prior to
submission, but I'm worried that it will be too easy to forget to do this.
I'd like to automate this step at the server side. If I can also automate
the decrypting on the client side, that would be quite convenient, too (but
a lesser priority they then the server-side encrypting).

-Matt
