As Nico has already mentioned, the svn+ssh access mode can be found the Red Bean book, "Tunneling over SSH", and specifics may be found here: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.serverconfig.svnserve.html#svn.serverconfig.svnserve.sshtricks The basic idea is that you multiplex all access to the repository through one account, with a special keypair for each user. In the 'svnuser' account's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file, a user's public key is used to adjust svnserve's --tunnel-user option, to sign each change with the correct ID.
