Disallowing read permission for a single user

Hi

I have a repository and a lot of users. All users except john should be
able to read the data. John should not be allowed to read anything. Can
I configure this, without having to enumerate all users in authz.conf? I
tried this, but somehow, john is still allowed to read:

[rep:/]
* = r
john =

The same holds if I switch the lines with * and john.

I believe the issue is the permissions from a repository-unqualified
path (say, [/]) are merged (in the union sense) with those of a specific
repository. If this is true then it seems like a bug as the SVN Book
claims the most-specific path is the one that matters.

The work around is to lock everything down, then just open up what you
need, but this makes it pretty cumbersome to manage the access control.

I'm afraid not ... maybe if the issue gets more and more subscribers to it 
then it'll become a higher priority for fix.

Yes, looks very similar.

Any idea how to fix it? There is currently no fixed attached to the
ticket.
