Writing on subfolder requires read access on repository root

Hi,

  Really need help. We are migrating from CVS to SVN. The problem I
encountering is it requiring read access at root level even when the
user need write access at sub folder/directory level. So unable to
restrict access to other folders/directories.

Here are the details:

SVN Version : 1.6.2

Implementation : Apache + SVN and Active directory based
authentication. (AuthType sspi and using AuthzSVNAccessFile)

Environment : Windows 2003 server

/

 /Project1

            /Subproject1

 /Project2

            /SubProject2

Example :

 Two users : User1 & User2

When the User1 needs write access to /Project2, I have to give him
read access at root level too. Otherwise that User1 cannot even get it
in to the repository. Since we need to implement strict access levels
for the modules in the repository, other groups or users are not
supposed to even read other modules.

Here is the Authorization.conf file.

[groups]

Test1 = User1

Test2 = User2

[/]

* = r

[/Project2]

@Test1 = rw

I looked at mailing lists and archives and found that this was fixed
in release 1.3.2 (Issue Id 2486). Am I doing something wrong here, why
I am getting same error in 1.6.2? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Srini
