Access Control

[Brian Osmus <os...@yahoo.com>]

We have one or more directories we need to be able to control “read”
access to, and since branches can be created, the directory can move around,
and we need to minimize maintenance of having to continuously add restrictions
to where those “read restricted” directories live. This has led to a cluttered and complex access file. Is there way to control the read access with hooks or something else. 

Thanks, Brian

You can't control "read" access with hooks. There is no pre-checkout hook.
Since there is no hook on checkout or "svn ls", you have to control read
access in the server configuration.
You maybe over thinking the read permission business. Most people only setup
read permission on the entire repository. A few bigger sites set up read
permission on projects. For example, one place where I worked had their
repository layout like this:

http://server/repository/department/project/...

We did access on the department level of our repository. Once you were in a
particular department, you had read access to all projects in that
department. Now, there could be commit restrictions once you get down to a
branch or even file level, but read restrictions were generally more broad
