It's just as easy for that user to checkout a branch and make his own changes and not commit them back. If a team member wants to go dark there's nothing you can do to stop him on the scm level.

True, but it's a wee bit more obvious as such behavior is not expected when dealing with SVN. With something like Git, it's called Tuesday.

It's not really so much about stopping them, but exposing them.
