Re: 'AuthzSVNAnonymous' - has anyone ever used this? What is it intended to do?

<guesswork>
The text in the code that registers the directive reads:

   Set to 'Off' to skip access control when no authenticated user
   is required. (default is On.)

So, it would seem that this is a way to tell mod_authz_svn that
anonymous access does or doesn't pay attention to access control
directives, likely for performance purposes.
