But that was as a user, not as root (which sudo switches too), right?
I'm not sure what happens.
If I do
sudo bash -c set | grep HOME
I still get the user-home; so the subversion-libraries should take the stored
authentication information.
Maybe it gets rejected because it has a different owner?
Could you do a "fsvs up -d" and "strace fsvs up" of empty updates, ie. where
nothing gets fetched? Maybe I find a hint where to look there.

Yes ... that's maybe necessary.
IIUYC that should be used for the "svn:author" value? I'm not sure whether the
subversion libraries allow to use *any* value (or restrict to the username,
or the remote user...), but we can try.
How about I make that configurable?
- Either you use environment variables on your authorized_keys:
environment="FSVS_AUTHOR=some_user" ssh-rsa ...
- Or, if that is not specified, it could be taken from /etc/fsvs/config as
author=some_user
Then I could add the special case that a '$' as first character means get
value from the environment; then /etc/fsvs/config could read
author=$SUDO_USER
If the ssh key is used, the environment variable FSVS_AUTHOR is used; else
$SUDO_USER is taken.
How about that?

Phil

Versioning your /etc, /home or even your whole installation?
Try fsvs (fsvs.tigris.org)!
