* Package name    : svnstsw
  Version         : 1.4
  Upstream Author : Richard Hansen <svnstsw@ir.bbn.com>
* URL             : http://www.ir.bbn.com/~rhansen/svnstsw/
* License         : 3-clause BSD
  Programming Lang: C
  Description     : SVNServe Tunnel-mode Setuid/setgid Wrapper
svnstsw is a wrapper around svnserve that sets the tunnel user equal to the username of the user that started the wrapper. It is intended be made setuid or setgid by the local administrator, to allow local users on a shared system to invoke svnserve without having direct access to the repository itself.

svnstsw's upstream source is in contrib/ in the Subversion repository, but contrib/ is not distributed as part of the Subversion release tarball. I'm copying the subversion packagers in case they have thoughts, want to co-maintain, etc.

thanks
The context where I had been planning on using this is instead looking at switching to git, so (unless that migration fails) I won't have any use for this myself. So I am closing the ITP.
There are also some annoying things about making this package work well with Debian, given its nature -- it rather wants to have the appropriate local settings hardcoded in the setuid binary. If anyone else is interested in packaging this, feel free to reopen the ITP, and I'm happy to share thoughts, but if you're just interested in _using_ it, it may be easier to use it unpackaged or locally packaged.
