We use WebSVN and it does support security. There is a prominent access
control section in the config file (include/config.inc in the WebSVN
directory, I think copied from a template file in that directory). We
force SSL on the directory so passwords can't be sniffed, use LDAP for
authentication and then restrict access via the same file that we use to
determine access for the checkout/commit and so forth on the repository.

Access file for myrep
