Users use file:// when on the server and ssh+svn (svnserve -t with SSH keys) remotely.
Is there a reason to not use the file:// protocol? The only thing in the FAQ that seems relevant refers to both file:// and ssh+svn://, implying any problems are the same in both places.

Will this require the repository to be owned by a dedicated svnuser account?
I'm guessing that this means for remote access, everybody logs in using SSH to the same user account, and are then differentiated by different SSH keys?
