Re: Can I disable directory listing using mod_dav_svn?

Well, you can setup Apache with it's own users. This is setup via a
text file that lives somewhere inside the Apache http configuration
directory. If you don't have an Apache account, you simply don't have
any access to Subversion: Read, Write, or List.

See: <http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.serverconfig.httpd.html#svn.serverconfig.httpd.authn.basic>

In the past, I've written PHP scripts that allow users to setup and
change their own Apache passwords. All you have to do is read and
write this file back out.

You have to be careful about what would happen if more than one user
updates this file at the same time, but it's not that difficult. I
never did this for a Subversion site, but it would be more or less the
same task.

That would handle what you're trying to do.
