RE: access svn securely from the internet via sasl or ssh

From the svn bool.

" When running over a tunnel, authorization is primarily controlled by
operating system permissions to the repository's database files; it's
very much the same as if Harry were accessing the repository directly
via a file:// URL."

That says to me that the *nix user that is logged in needs rw access to
the repository files in order to access the repository. In other words,
they would have access to the files within the shell. I think that is
something the OP didn't like.
