Svnserve authz repository name problem on Windows

[Perceval BRET <br...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

It seems I've had the same problem as described in
http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2006-03/0057.shtml .
My platform is:
- Windows XP Pro SP 2
- Subversion 1.3.1
- Apache 2.0.55
authz file syntax [repository:/path] works fine with httpd but doesn't work
for me using svnserve. The latter ignores [repository:/path] syntax and
computes only [/path] syntax.

It's a bit cumbersome with multiple repository access methods. You can't use
the same authz file.

To bypass the problem you need one authz file for httpd access and one authz
file for each repository using svnserve. Of course, httpd and svnserve authz
files contain redundant configuration data.

Is it an issue? Will the next svnbook release reveal some new authz
features?

I've basically given up on it, and switched to using the svnperms.py and svnperms.conf tools instead. These also provide better resolution of the access, including permissions to add, delete, or update directories.
