Specify the user when a command is run?

[Josef Wolf <jw...@raven.inka.de>]

Hello!

I am writing a cgi-based administration tool for the svn server. Now,
when this script runs svn commands (e.g. the initial import of a
template directory when a new repos is created), those commands are
run as the apache user (e.g nobody.nogroup). Is there any way to
specify the user name that apache authenticated from the cgi script?

BTW: Those files use the file:///repos schema, if this makes any
     difference.

The --username option should work, passing to it the appropriate environment
variable.
