How to have permission restrictions in svn?

[Luiz-Otavio Zorzella <z0...@zorzella.com>]

Hi,

I'm an CVS old-timer, and I'm trying out svn for real after much 
postponing and preparation (reading and waiting for svn on cygwin).

What I'm trying to setup, though, I can't seem to find any docs for: 
different permissions for different folders. Ideally, I'd like to 
restrict writability on "trunk" (HEAD, basically) to select users, while 
allowing all to freely commit to branches they create.

Because svn does away with server folders, I can't figure out how to do 
that.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Zorzella

As far as I know you have to use Apache2 with the mod_authz_svn apache
module.  The file subversion/mod_authz_svn/INSTALL that comes with the
subversion source distribution explains how to set it up.  I'm using it
and it works really well.
