Re: svnserver tunnelling and -r option

Thanks to the gentlemen who responded. That was definately a D'oh
situation. I've seen that shown elsewhere, for other commands, and never
thought to put two and two together. Brain cells getting old.

Try this:

Rename svnserve to svnserve2.
Create a schell script named svnserve that calls svnserve2, sends any
extra options you need, and passes along the options from the svn+ssh
call.

I did not test this, but I think I've done something like this before.
