Re: svn commit: r25095 - in trunk/subversion: include libsvn_repos tests/cmdline

[Something that wasn't at all clear from this log message is that this patch
actually fixes CVE-2007-2448. Might have been clearer with two separate
patches :-)

Actually, since I'm having a little trouble working out exactly what
the security problem is here, could you add a description to
www/security/ ? We don't necessarily need to publish it far and wide if
we don't think it's a significant problem, but I think we should at
least have a description we can point people to.]

Any particular reason that needs to be =1?

Might be useful to have some documentation about what these value
indicate, somewhere.

It looks like (from usage) authz_read_func can be NULL. We should
mention that in the doc comments.

Perhaps this is a good place to explain what readable and
partially_readable mean?

There's no need to initialise this any more - we're unconditionally
setting it via the svn_repos_check_revision_access() function now.

(I was originally going to ask if there was some aspect of that function
that I hadn't understood, but I see you just converted one initialiser
to another).

(Also occurs twice more in this file).

No need to create a new iterator in its own pool, surely? You can pass
NULL and use the hash's inbuilt iterator.
