Making Tags Read-Only?
I realize that in SVN a tag and a branch are essentially the same thing. In
the book I believe it mentions that tags can only be created, but not
modified, and to use an access-control script provided by SVN to limit
access. Where can I find this script? All I have been able to do so far is
configure read/write access to SVN(hosted through Apache). Is there a
special key letter(r = read, w = write, ? = create) to use to grant only
create and read permissions?
Thanks,
Steve

To control access on directories in a repository, your options are:
* use mod_authz_svn. it only understands read/write, not "create".
* use a pre-commit hook script to control write access. There are at
least two prewritten scripts for this, commit-access-control.pl and
svnperms.py, both in /trunk/tools/hook-scripts:

Look for commit-access-control.pl or svnperms.py which are included as
repository tools. They each have their own sample config file with
examples. The template pre-commit.tmpl is set to call the perl one; it's
not too dificult to adapt it to call the python one.
