It's only for logging purposes, I want to have a track record of who's
doing commits under which username logged in from which IP.

Having the IP along with the username in my logs helps tracking down
cases where people share svn login credentials or to determine if
a check-in is slow because a user is located at the end of a slow
Internet connection on a different continent.
