I understand my comments not related to your post but I just came across your blogpost on http://www.barneyb.com/barneyblog/2008/02/28/read-only-and-read-write-svn-repositories/. But realized the thread as well as the site is not active anymore.

I’ve got both authentication and authorization working as they should be in my setup. However, path based restrictions don’t seem to work for sub folders. Please see Authz snippet below:

[groups]
ctrlMusers = user1, user2, user3

[/]@ctrlM = r

[SVNCOPY:/ControlM]
@ctrlM = rw
@developers = r
* =

From the above, I’m restricting write access only to ctrlMusers. But sadly, ControlM folder has too many sub directories (SVNCOPY/ControlM/trunk/AciCore/build/release1)

user3 is not able to commit a file under SVNCOPY/ControlM/trunk/AciCore/build/release1 even though he has RW access at the parent folder level (ControlM). How do I go about resolving this issue? Thanks.
Karthik
