Hello,

what if you want to or need to use just svnserve without ssh cause of
performance or some administration (in case of no ssh on the client) causes?
It's hard to accept that you must have unencrypted password files in this not
uncommon case: Communication over apache is much slower and not every client
wants to or can use ssh.

Cheers,
Rainer
