That just calls apr_uid_name_get(), so the call chain is
svnserve->APR->glibc. The latter's implementation would look at
nsswitch.conf. That suggests that is is related to user configuration
somehow. But I don't know much about that topic.

The name caching daemon is something glibc would use directly, most likely.
