access svn securely from the internet via sasl or ssh

Hi!

I have a Ubuntu server with an svn repository (only svnserve -d, no WebDAV). What would be the simplest way to make it securely available to the internet? I think svn+ssh is rather insecure because you give each user a right to write directly (low-level) into the svn-repository.
For, SASL, how much do I need to configure? Is it sufficient to add the following to the svn svnserve.conf:
[sasl]
use-sasl = true
min-encryption = 128
max-encryption = 256

Or do I really need all this extra configuration with sasl configuration:
pwcheck_method: auxprop
auxprop_plugin: sasldb
sasldb_path: /etc/my_sasldb
mech_list: DIGEST-MD5
...
(as described in http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.serverconfig.svnserve.html#svn.serverconfig.svnserve.sasl ; section: Authentication with SASL)

I just need a connection to be as secure as regular ssh. :-) Thanks in advance!

Best, Philip
