What I found easy to set up is to create a special user for the project. 
All participants log in via svn+ssh as that user, but using different 
keys. They are only allowed to run svnserve, no shell, and according to 
the used key they show up as different users in the svn logs. This can 
be configured in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys of the special user, and it is 
also well explained in the subversion online documentation.

The most difficult part was to change 3 lines in /etc/postfix/main.cf 
and to adapt the template for the hooks/post-commit script so that 
automatic commit messages get mailed to the participants.
