Subversion: existing users

[Andy Canfield]

The most obvious authorization scheme is that of the host server; if 
there is a user named "andy" on that server with a password "jackel" 
then I would like to simply be able to talk to the subversion server as 
user named "andy" password "jackel". This is how ssh and sftp work. But 
apparently subversion can't handle that. True?
