I was trying to get http, svn, and svn+ssh to work.
HERE IT IS USING HTTP:
* svn info http://athol/svn/subdoc
Authentication realm: <http://athol:80> Athol Subversion Repository
Password for 'andy':
Path: subdoc
URL: http://athol/svn/subdoc
Repository Root: http://athol/svn/subdoc
Repository UUID: 1dd2dddc-19a3-44a7-a91e-dc9b8306a138
Revision: 4
Node Kind: directory

HERE IT IS USING SVN:
* svn info svn://athol/subdoc
Authentication realm: <svn://athol:3690> Subversion svnserve
Password for 'andy':
Path: subdoc
URL: svn://athol/subdoc
Repository Root: svn://athol/subdoc
Repository UUID: 1dd2dddc-19a3-44a7-a91e-dc9b8306a138

HERE IS THE PROBLEM USING SVN+SSH:
* svn info svn+ssh://athol/data/svn/subdoc
The authenticity of host 'athol (192.168.1.113)' can't be established.
ECDSA key fingerprint is 4a:9d:73:24:94:24:15:a8:08:0c:cd:59:72:d4:3a:d7.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes

What's 'worse' about it? Well, 'kids' is a valid user name on the
server; 'kids' can ssh into the server. But 'kids' has no authorization
to access any Subversion repository in any way. To me this means that
svn+ssh is a GIGANTIC security hole.
Consider these commands:
* ssh kids_at_example.com
rm -rf /data/svn/subdoc*
They do nothing; user 'kids' has no right to see anything inside the
/data/svn directory, which is owned by www-data and readable (and
writable) only by that user.
But consider these commands:
* mkdir t
cd t
svn checkout svn+ssh://example.com/data/svn/subdoc
svn delete *
** svn commit*
These will post a revision deleting everything in the repository. And
this second set of commands relies only on 'kids' being able to log in
to the server; they need not have any permission to do anything in
Subversion!
Is there any way to modify things on the server to disable the svn+ssh:
protocol without disabling either standard ssh or the svn: protocol?
