We are not using shared working copies. There are two folks who are
permitted to update the production environment. To control this, they
are in a unique group, thus updating the files can only be done if
you're in this group. Each individual has their own working copies in
their own development environment.

It's not the committing of code were are trying to track. We know who
committed the code. We are trying to figure out who executed the 'svn
update' on the production machine.
