Humble apologies - I was looking at logs which contained user names, and assuming
everything was working as I expected under Linux. However, those logs dated back to the
conversion from CVS, which must have copied the user name info across. More recent, SVN
commits do not show a user name, even if the commit was performed under Linux.
Oh well, I guess I'll just have to live with it.
