Setting author at commit time?

I am wanting to do some automated sync'ing of files between subversion
and another system. How can I set the author for subversion?

  co -p -kk /path/to/rcs/somefile1,v > somefile1
  co -p -kk /path/to/rcs/somefile2,v > somefile2
  svn commit -F log-message.txt

And of course I can fudge the timestamps using libfaketime or
datefudge or other ways. I can set the timestamp fine. I also know
the author name for the commit. But what I don't know is how to pass
the author name on through to subversion so that it commits using
the original author and not the current process owner.

Of course I can dump the database (its private at that point), process
it, and load it again into a pristine area now with the right
committer. But that is really, really heavy when I only need to set
the latest commit, it would be n^2 for the number of revisions in that
case.

Any hints on how to fake the committer at commit time?
