It's the user Apache is running as.

Subject: apache user invoking svn
I'm sure this is a FAQ, but I couldn't find this question either in  
the SVN FAQ. Basically, which user is invoking the commands on the  
repository when you access it via Apache? My repository is owned by  
root and writable by my developer's group. The http user is  
definitely not in the developer's group, so I'm trying to figure out  
how it's able to write to the repository directory.
Ultimately, what I'm trying to do is disallow individual users from  
running svnserve via svn+ssh:// in favor of going through http://. I  
think I could accomplish this by changing the ownership of the  
repository directory to be writable by root only assuming that apache  
was invoking these commands as the root user.
Otherwise, I'll probably have to maange a different authz-db file for  
the svnserve.conf that disallows access for everyone in addition to  
the one I actually use for apache.
Thanks,
Bradley
