/*
 * 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.
