Re: Could svn check permissions?

I was thinking of a function along the lines of this. The identifiers
are made to explain the idea.

  {none,r/o,rw} <= AccessToDBDirectory (user-handle, repository-path)

The routine would cull the user's identity and match it against the
directory/file permissions in the repository. The easiest check would
be for all files and directories. The downside of that approach is
that any file, even one not associated with the DB, that is r/o would
block all write access.

I believe it is reasonable to determine an optimal set of files and
directories that must have r/w access for the user to be able to write
the database.
