write protect branch in local mode ?

["Cole, Larry" <la...@hp.com>]

I am running svn in local mode.  Production code releases are moved to a 'releases' branch.  It there any means (other than those identified in the start-commit hook script) to prevent any changes to the 'releases' branch ?  I assume the --username and --password switches are not valid in local mode when using file:///  URLs ?

There is no authentication or authorization when accessing file:///
URLs, other than what the operating system provides.  Anyone can
hand-edit the berkeleyDB files, if the OS allows it... so there's no
point in subversion "pretending" to have a security system.
