This is trickier. You can log the existence of the connections based
on the account used, particularly if you use a shared user, and
especially if you run sshd on a non-standard port with distinct logs.
So you can do some connection tracking. But svnserve does *NO* logging
of read operations, so once you have the SSH tunnel established, it's
a complete black box.

That would actually make a good feature request, and with the new
commercial sponsors of Subversion, they might be cooperative with such
a feature request. But I wouldn't expect it in the planned subversion
1.7 release.
