Hi Filomena,

Restricting access on a revision basis is not possible.
You can remove old versions or part of your repo by using the dumpfilter
command.
1. Dump your current repo
2. Use dumpfilter to filter unwanted elements
3. Reload filtered dump into a new repo.
Doc: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.ref.svndumpfilter.html
Exemple 1 - Removing old revisions:

Exemple 2 - Removing a directory:

Cheers,
Ludovic
