authz_svn_module and Wildcards

Hello,

i'd like to deny access to a file regardless of where it is located in the
repository:

  [test:*secret.txt]
  fred =

Is this possible?

regards
  Stefan

No plans yet, but I believe someone implemented it already as a private  
patch... is he watching this list?

Me too, since forbidding access to a single file is rather easy, unless you
start tagging. Then the file secret.txt can be accessed through
/tags/foo/secret.txt and i'd need to add an entry to the access
configuration  each each time a tag is created, which is error prone.

Where can I find any pointers on how this part of the code works? Perhaps I
can code a patch...

regards
 Stefan

This is similar to a request I made last week that went unanswered:

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.subversion.user/27451

I think it would be extremely useful to create access lists in the
AuthzSVNAccessFile using wildcards.  Are there any plans for a feature
like this?
