'Capguy' isn't such a bad idea, particularly if they only have read access.
As far as I know, Capistrano will never do a commit, and anyone who can read
the 'capguy' credentials has at least as much access as capguy does.
It might also be possible to do tricky things like:
set :repository, "svn+ssh://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/..."
That will only work on Unix hosts, though, and only if your username is the
same.
Another possibility is tricky things with svn:keywords. Does the $HeadURL$
keyword have the username in there? If so, here's what I've been doing:
set :repository do
# This will not work if you check this file out of a path with
apostrophes.
# But that would not be a valid URI anyway, I think.
'$HeadURL$' =~ /^\$[H]eadURL: +(https?:\/\/.*)\/config\/deploy.rb +\$$/
$1
end
You'll have to swap that https for svn+ssh, or whatever will actually match
HeadURL.
Worst case -- if you can't find any way to automagically figure out who the
developer is -- separate it out into a separate, unversioned file that each
developer has to create. It could be as simple as:
set :user, 'jsmith'
