In pythondev's authorized_keys2, we have a line

command="/usr/bin/svnserve --root=/data/repos/projects -t
--tunnel-user 'Skip Montanaro'",no-port-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding,
no-agent-forwarding,no-pty ssh-dss <your key>

So the *only* command you are allowed to invoke is svnserve (actually,
sshd will invoke that no matter what the ssh client requests). This
will tell subversion that changes should be logges as 'Skip Montanaro'.

Well, you are not required to understand it, but you should try to use
it. Just check out svn+ssh://pythondev@svn.python.org/python/trunk/Misc,
and see whether this works.
