Auth: Anonymous and Authenticated access

I am using SVN 1.4.3 via Apache.

 

When we created our repository we were restricting access. You had to
have a valid account and access rights to even read the repository.  And
based on your login you can only view parts of the repository.

 

We also use a CI tool that cannot pass command line args to login to SVN
to get the lastest source. The dev. has requested a special anonymous
read-only access. I believe I have figured out how to give read-only
access to anonymous users, by creating an new <LOCATION>  in the
http.conf . But now I am wondering how do I restrict what directories
they can see? I only want them to see a small subset of directories.

 

Thoughts?

 

Tom

What do you mean by two trees? http.conf or my svnaccess.conf file?

How do I specify the read-only within this tree?

Thanks

Tom

I created two trees and make tags to the read-only tree.
I think SVN processes user rights from the leafs of the tree first
so setting rights one subdirectory at a time works.
