When accessing a server via ssh svn spawns an svnserve with the -t option, does it not? I got the impression from somewhere that this could be made to persist. However, since svnserve clearly does persist when run as a local server (in deamon mode, not inetd) it is clear where I could have gotten the wires crossed. It is possible to run a local server as a proxy for a remote server, in order to limit the number of password requests?
