What I am looking to do is use one user for subversion and give that 
user read and write access. But for security I want to use host keys and 
  have the ability to revoke any one user by being able to identify 
their host key and removing it. The current setup uses one user and adds 
the new persons host key to the authorized keys but I cant distinguish 
between who's host key is who's in order to terminate one users access. 
With apache you can specify to include conf files in the conf.d 
directory and remove any conf file will remove the special 
configuration. Well I would like to be able to do something similar with 
ssh host key access to subversion
