Would be nice to provide possibility to start svnserve as another user. Small diff follows:

[root@io rc.d]# diff /etc/rc.d/svnserve svnserve_orig
12,16c12
< if [ -n "$SVNSERVE_USER" ]; then
< su $SVNSERVE_USER -c "/usr/bin/svnserve -d $SVNSERVE_ARGS" &
< else
< /usr/bin/svnserve -d $SVNSERVE_ARGS &
< fi
---
> /usr/bin/svnserve -d $SVNSERVE_ARGS &

This adds to /etc/conf.d/svnserve optional option SVNSERVE_USER. So, when added line

SVNSERVE_USER="svn"

svnserve runs as "svn" user. Also would be good to change default /etc/conf.d/svnserve - add something like:

#uncomment following line, if you with to run svnserve as another user
#SVNSERVE_USER="svn"
