Ah yes - if the server weren't already set up as an svn: server.

I seem to have sussed it.  You just do:

ssh -L 3690:localhost:3690 <target server>

first and then leave this ssh session open for as long as you want to
use subversion.  Then invoke svn with:

svn list svn://localhost/<repository>

and you're away.

I would have thought it was more logical for svn's inbuilt
tunnel-over-ssh feature to work in this way, but it doesn't.

Cheers,
John
