svnserver tunnelling and -r option - still looking for help

This is a repost.  Does anyone have an answer to this problem. 
Unfortunately, we are in a time crunch (not of my choosing).

Thanks for any pointers.

svnserver tunnelling and -r option
Classification








If one starts svnserver via "svn+ssh", or "svn+rsh", how does one get the 
-r (--root) option set?  If started as a daemon, then it is easy, but not 
so obvious when started by a tunnel.

We need to do it as a server wide configuration, i.e., a file that 
svnserver looks at when it starts to see of a root path has been defined. 
We prefer that it not be in the user's .subversion configuration file. 
Will svnserve look in the same /etc/subversion directory for configuration 


info just like svn does?

Thanks for any pointers.

On the server, rename 'svnserve' to 'svnserve-orig', then create a 
wrapper script named 'svnserve' which invokes the original binary with 
the -r option, as well as any other options passed to the script.
