/*
* Wrapper to run the svnserve process setgid.
* The idea is to avoid the problem that some interpreters like bash
* invoked by svnserve in hook scripts will reset the effective gid to
* the real gid, nuking the effect of an ordinary setgid svnserve binary.
* Sadly, to set the real gid portably, you need to be root, if only
* for a moment.
* Also smashes the environment to something known, so that games
* can't be played to try to break the security of the hook scripts,
* by setting IFS, PATH, and similar means.
