When accessing a server via ssh svn spawns an svnserve with the -t option,
does it not? I got the impression from somewhere that this could be made to
persist.

However, since svnserve clearly does persist when run as a local server (in
deamon mode, not inetd) it is clear where I could have gotten the wires
crossed.

It is possible to run a local server as a proxy for a remote server, in
order to limit the number of password requests?
