Request: svnserve auth vs. system

Greetings,

[you probably already saw me on irc but...]

I wish to submit a request to have svnserve authenticate its users via
the system rather than authenticating vs. a cleartext passwd auth file.
I'm surprised this ability doesn't really exist.

svn+ssh: has been suggested to me, but "svn+ssh:" is a semihassle to
request on the command line, and setting up keys and such, while a small
hurdle, is an extra step I didn't really want to deal with.

I'll look into it and see what grief it brings me, but I'm requesting
this nonetheless. If anyone else feels that this would be truly useful,
please say so. I probably won't bring it up again for a while.

Many thanks, and thanks for a great version control project, the above
notwithstanding. SVN did me the favour of making me really look at how
revision control and change management is done, as well as it allows me
the freedom of doing it in differently appropriate ways for different
types of projects.

[FWIW: Dev/, Release/, and Main/ turn out to be REALLY good names
  for things! Well, for me, anyway...]
