Actually, as of Subversion 1.5, svnserve and ra_svn (the "svn://"
prefix, as opposed to "svn+ssh") can use Cyrus SASL. So you can
conceivably use Kerberos authentication with any of the network
transports (http, svn, or svn+ssh). If you want to use the built-in
ra_svn support, the following may be of use:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/notes/sasl.txt
I've never personally set it up that way. You may have better luck
getting support on the Subversion users list if you run into problems.
