Ok, great.

Unfortunately for me, this access-control stuff apparently requires an
Apache integration on the svn server system, something I have tried to avoid.

My general nature is to avoid inter-system dependencies if I can. eg, one
benefit of this: my Apache has gone down occasionally for maintenance,
crash, etc...but my subversion repos are still merrily chugging along
because svnserve doesn't care what Apache does. It's a nice, minimal
system. I don't muck up my Apache config with subversion stuff,
either. Alas, it (svnserve) doesn't have ACL features...or apparently
so...so maybe I'll just run a separate Apache server from the main web site
if I want my independence.

I don't see any documentation for an svnserve-based access control...nor do
I know how this would be controlled given that svnserve implements access
control via ssh...and I see easy way for ssh/unix-login-based access
control mechanisms to be plugged into svnserve.

Alas, as Kevin mentions, I don't read the svn book from cover to cover,
hence I hope to find help for point problems here, for which I've very
appreciative.
