I think I may have found a bug (or at least "user assumption failure")
in mod_authz_svn.
If a user has access to two directories, but not the parent directory,
(i.e.
[/test/level1/level2]
guest = rw
[/test/level1/level2a]
guest = rw
)
a commit to both of those two directories will result in a MERGE
request to the directory above. (/test/level1)
BUT - since the user can't write there, the MERGE result fails.
