Oops, I missed that.

That requires setting up the server end so svnserve can run through an
SSH tunne, but regular interactive access is denied. That's easy.
Assign the users to a "shell" which is a script that refuses to let in
anything other than svnserve. Something like this:

 # cat /usr/local/bin/svnonly.sh
#!/bin/bash
if [ "$*" = "-c svnserve -t" ]; then
    svnserve -t
    exit $?
fi
while true; do
    date; sleep 600;
done;
