Wildcard directories with subdirectories in authz config

[Peter McAlpine <pe...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I'd like to prevent anyone but the 'admin' group from creating
branches in a particular directory. But once they've been created I
want all users to be able to make changes to those branches. Here's
what I want to do but it doesn't seem to work:

[/branches]
* = r
@admin = rw

[/branches/*/]
* = rw

Can anyone suggest a way of accomplishing this?

Thanks,
-Peter

Yes: there's a patch for mod_authz_svn which does it. There were quite
a number of comments and it didn't get applied for that reason. The
patch is waiting for someone to pick it up and finish the work.

bye,

Erik.
