Commit as a different user w/ svn+ssh

Hello All,

We use svn+ssh to allow access to our repository. It's read only for all users but the dev group. How can I check in a modification as a different user that has checked out?

Scenario:

1. Alice checks out source code using his username and password. He is a normal user so he doesn't have write access

2. Alice made some useful changes and want to check in. He calls Bob from the dev group to check in. Bob looks at the changes and he thinks it is useful so he want to check in the changes as "Bob"

svn commit modifiedfile.txt ===> this step tries to check in as Alice since he checked out initially. How do I specify a different username. I looked at --username arg but didn't help. I am using svn+ssh??

Please advice.

Thank you,
Raj
