Rather than svn authentication i suggest just piggybacking on top of the bug
trackers authentication.  that is an integration i think we should aim for
anyways and it should keep the no-google-account fear mongers happy.  code
comments (as bug comments are today) should not require svn commit access.

anyways, i expect someone else may implement that once the code is out
there.
