Re: Re: Inherit the authorization from a trunk to a branch/tag

Understood and thanks for your rapidly reply. Waiting the new version the feature added.

Now, we could build some path-rules and create a tools to produce the end-ACL files based on the template ACL file and the root-dir-list in "branchs" and "tags". When create a branchs or tags, run the tools, get the template ACL file, get the root-dir-list of "branchs" or "tags" by svn cmd, cal and produce the end-ACL files, then commit the end-ACL files to the server.

Best Regards
Peter
