Re: svnserve alternate authentication

    This doesnt appear to be an option since the passwords are not
stored plaintext in the DB. I need to match against SHA-1 when given
plaintext by apache. Is there a good way to do this with your solution?
Is there a place where I can convert the provided password to SHA-1 to
compare it?

Apache2 is a little slow but will do for now. In the future we will
definitely want to use svnserve for portability, speed and setup
reasons.

Thanks for the advice,
Brad
