As Marcus said:

It's really very easy to use svnserve with ssh in tunnel mode to 
restrict access to the repository to a single user id, yet use separate 
ssh keys for each user, see:

http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch06s03.html#svn-ch-6-sect-3.5

And now that svnserve will includes authz support, you can limit access 
without the use of hooks.
