How to set permission levels in subversion

[Mick Ken <mi...@gmail.com>]

Hi Friends,
I have a subversion repository and i am controlling the
access/authorization rules using Apache. Right now,

I have a "svn-acl" file that has projects with read-write permissions like:
[ProjectName:/]
@team_project1 = rw

But the problem is, everybody is able to "delete" any folders/files
etc from the repository using the Tortoise SVN repo-browser. So, I
would like to know how to control the permissions so that users cannot
delete anything on the repository and only the Administrator can
delete folders/ files.

I would also like to know how the permission levels should be set like
what's the best way ...

I would really appreciate your input.

Thanks
Mick

The access control has only two levels: read and write. In order to go into
finer grained access control, you will have to write a pre-commit hook.
There is an example script in the source distribution called svnperms.py (in
tools/hook-scripts directory). You might be able to use that in the
pre-commit hook
