I've been growsing about that: some folks made it clear that the
communication over svnserver to handle passwords is actually encrypted, but
I loathe having plain-text passwords lyng around.
Instead, I use HTTPS/mod_dav_svn access, which can use .htaccess and other
user authentication techniques, and svnperms.conf and svnperms.py to control
user-based read/write/update permissions. Then you can use webmin, htpasswd,
or other similar tools to edit individual .htaccess accounts.
