Brilliant!

Can I get your scripts, configs and anything else that might help?  (sans 
passwords of course.)

I am a Subversion fan, just read over 
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/svn-book.html#svn-ch-6-sect-3.4

I get ssh keys, but the docs are a bit light as to exactly how to config a basic 
no tricks setup.  Or maybe it is so easy there isn't anything to do....
