I really don't know if webdav is an option. The whole story is that the SVN repo is going to be the back end for a puppet setup. People will check files into the svn repo, then puppet will check them out and push them. We need people to be able to check files in, but we don't want to give them to have local accounts. It's like a roach motel for configurations. There are several ways to give them local accounts and disallow logins, I know, but I would rather have the box be an island, and of course, encrypt the transport.
