Patch to subversion documenation

["Eric M. Hopper" <ho...@omnifarious.org>]

This is designed to document how to set up read restrictions on portions
of the repository.  It also documents what some of the problems and
caveats currently are.  I'm not a documentation writer, so this could
perhaps be improved greatly.  But, such a section in the documentation
would've saved me 4-5 hours of time spent fiddling around trying to
figure things out.

Have fun (if at all possible),

Eric, thanks for the well-composed patch.  Unfortunately, we cannot
include the information you provided in the book.  The <LocationMatch>
information you discussed is an implementation detail that is
intentionally undocumented -- it can change at any time.  So we don't
want to encourage usage patterns based on that behavior.
