That's "ssh+svn". The SSH connection is opened to talk to the server
and run a local 'svnserver' port, which is tunneled back to your local
host, so yes, it lives on top of ssh. The normal option for ssh to
prevent this would involve using 'ssh +x', and being sure to unset
your "DISPLAY" environment variable.

I'm assuming that your SSH environment is inside of an X terminal?
What happens if you unset your "DISPLAY" environment setting inside
your script?
