Using what method to connect to the server?

        http[s]://
        svn://
        svn+ssh://

Each of these would be different (the last is particularly tricky since
the user is literally connecting from the local host via an ssh tunnel).

If you are using Apache, you could certainly have a log reader that
would scan for the commits. You could even have a post-commit hook that
added a record to a database at the end of every commit. But if you are
this paranoid, I would suggest you should be using svn+ssh:// or
https:// with client certs...
