Oops, my bad. Badly configured emacs. Should be resolved in this resubmit.

Moved. When should types be defined in svn_types.h ?

Changed to functions. The code is a little more spread out in the
functions; that helps readability.

Changed to space-before-paren.

As stated in the first sentence of the commit log message, I reworked
the code to attempt to get it to fit with the svn coding style. This
implied a few variable renamings, renaming the functions to fit in the
svn namespace, commenting the code, etc. . Aside from the "cosmetic"
changes, the two macros are the only logical change I can recall.

The macros aren't in mod_authz_svn because the expansion is directly
used in a few places. I found this confusing (and spent a fair amount of
time working out why the hell they did what they did), and so moved it
to documented macros with a nice names. Well, documented functions now.

How can I explain all this in the commit message? I thought that for the
purposes of the commit message stating that the functionality has moved
and has been globally revamped to fit in with the destination was
sufficient; the comments in the new file are, I think, in sufficient
number to clear up any residual problems.

Anyhow, here's another attempt at the commit message, along with the
shiny, corrected patch.

[[[
Move authz routines from mod_authz_svn to libsvn_repos; rework authz
code to fit in with libsvn_repos; update mod_authz_svn to reflect
the move.

* subversion/mod_authz_svn/mod_authz_svn.c: Add includes, remove
     nameless enum. Update copyright notice.
   (parse_authz_baton, group_contains_user_internal,
    group_contains_user, parse_authz_line,
    parse_authz_lines, parse_authz_section,
    parse_authz_sections, check_access): Remove, functionality
     moves to libsvn_repos.
   (req_check_access): Use the authz routines in libsvn_repos and wrap
     any errors reported by the authz layer.

* subversion/include/svn_repos.h: Add include. Update copyright notice.
   (svn_authz_access_kind_t): New enum type.
   (svn_repos_authz_check_access): New public API.

* subversion/libsvn_repos/authz.c: New file. Contains the functionality
     moved from mod_authz_svn. Rename functions and variable names to
     better fit libsvn_repos. Add internal API and in-function
     documentation.

* subversion/tests/libsvn_repos/repos-test.c: Add includes. Update
     copyright notice.
   (authz): New test.
