controlling delete
Is there a command for controlling SVN delete. We would like to only give specific users delete privileges and not allow others to have it.
Thanks,

Try svnperms.py:
http://subversion.tigris.org/tools_contrib.html#svnperms_py
Note svn has built in authz support, but I don't think it distinguishes
between modification permission and delete permission (since from a
data-integrity standpoint modifying a file to be empty is equivalent to
deleting it). From a prevent-users-from-doing-stupid-things standpoint
the separate delete permission provided by scripts like svnperms is useful.

Note that a pre-commit hook could distinguish between deletes and
moves and prohibit only the former. Basically, if there's a 'delete'
in the commit, without at least one corresponding 'copy' ('add with
history') of the deleted file happening somewhere else, then prohibit.

I'm sure you're aware of this, but remember that this is also likely
to prevent use of "svn move", too.

It's even a Shell script - good stuff.
Thanks

This is a snippet from our pre-commit hook that will prevent a user from modifying a tag - they can only be added or deleted:
if [ -n "`$SVNLOOK changed -t "$2" "$1" | grep "^[^AD].*/tags/"`" ] ; then
echo "Tags may be added/deleted, but not modified" >&2
exit 1
fi

You can achieve this by adding a pre-commit hook, and disallowing deletes there. It will return an error message to the user that you define.
If you'd like an example, I can create one...
HTH,
