Hm. If we have a shared svn repository that does also mean that everybody should have write access and thus be able to delete/overwrite the whole repository?
Presumably, yes. They can then be reverted and have their toolserver access taken away. We aren't dealing with hospital life-support software here, right?
If it's a concern, you could require that it be toolserver roots that do the code update, but that's probably too much of a burden. Toolserver users are moderately trusted anyway, and toolserver tools are typically not nearly as stability-critical as the Wikimedia sites themselves.
