no author when anonymous access is read-only

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Could someone help me understand why SVN log is reporting (no author) when my 
repository is read-only to anonymous users?

I had to login to perform the initial import, but svn log shows that that 
commit was performed by (no author).

I read the FAQ at http://subversion.tigris.org/project_faq.html#no-author, but 
that suggests that anonymous users have write access.

Here is part of my httpd2.conf
- ---------------------------------------
	<Location /svn/>
		DAV svn
		SVNParentPath /home/SVNRepositories
		
		# our access control policy
		AuthzSVNAccessFile /etc/httpd/svnacl.conf
		
		# try anonymous access first, resort to real
		# authentication if necessary.
		Satisfy Any
		Require valid-user
		
		# how to authenticate a user
		AuthType Basic
		AuthName "Subversion repository"
		AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/passwd
	</Location>
- ---------------------------------------

..and here is /etc/httpd/svnacl.conf
- ---------------------------------------
[CareCircle:/]
* = r
Greg = rw
Gallick = rw

[www:/]
* = 
Greg = rw

[My Documents:/]
* = 
Greg = rw
- ---------------------------------------

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Greg Martyn

This turned out to be a bug, exposed by this config.  See issue 1786:
