You can get it from the passwd file pointed at by your svnserve.conf file in
the repository, as far as I know. I did not try to set up any of the
fancier access methods.

I don't claim to know how the internals of SVN work, but when I configured
svnserve to only allow authorized users
to access the repositories, Tortoise would always prompt for username and
password. So I'm wondering if your svnserve.conf
file is allowing access without a username. It seems to me that if your
repository doesn't demand authentication, Tortoise won't ask for it, and
then Tortoise won't have it on hand for commit records.
