That would require local users. On the machine that runs the repository,
this is not feasible, unfortunately (so CVS would be no option)

How does that help me in not having to type the password on
each commit?

I was shocked that svn would store the password typed *in the clear*,
and in some release even *in the sandbox*. Now it still stores it in
the home directory, which isn't much better... If you disable that,
you have to type the password every time. svn+ssh-agent would be a
solution, but, as I said, not in our case.
