using --tunnel-user with svnserve

[Kevin Bentley <ke...@gmail.com>]

I'm having trouble figuring out how to use --tunnel-user to work. I
have 1.1 installed on the client and the server, and I've tried
specifying the user I want used in the tunnel-user argument with the
--username option, but the logs always show the name of the ssh user
(the user logged in), not the user I specified with --username.

Is there some other thing I need to do to make --tunnel-user work with svnserve?

Thanks!

--tunnel-user is intended to be used with svn+ssh:// access and ssh 
keys, with the command option in your .ssh/authorized_keys file.  the 
idea is that you have a single user on the server who has access to the 
repository, and each person you want to have access gives you their key, 
which you then set up in the authorized_keys file so that access via 
that key only runs svnseve --tunnel-user theirusername.

I may have some of the details wrong, it's been a while since I played 
with ssh and the command option, but that's the general idea. 
Unfortunately I don't think this is well documented anywhere yet.
