Using wildcards on auth file

Hi all,
We are using SVN with apache DAV.
We have a lot of project and in every project we have to deny writing access to some branches and tags.
Every branch has the same name for different projects, so should be useful to use wildcards on the project name to define accessing rules.
SVN doesn't support wildcard. So we have to define for every project the same rules the same rules changing project's name.
I've found a patch on http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.subversion.devel/100753 that seems to be working.
But I have to apply it on every SVN release (I've not yet tried it on 1.6).
What do you think to vote for a wildcard implementation on authorization file?

Ciao,
Andrea

You can define rule without specifying a repository name.
It will could toward any repository.
Look tickets in SVNbook issue tracker.
