Specification of path-based authentication file

Hi,

i am the current maintainer of WebSVN.
We had some issues regarding the interpretation of the pased-path auth file lately.

One issue was how to handle duplicate groups-sections. Another is about line breaks in the list of users when specifying a group. Support for aliases is not yet implemented.

The section "Path-Based Authorization" of the Subversion Book
seems to be a little bit too shallow.

Can someone point me to a detailed description/specification how these files are parsed and how they are interpreted?
So that i will be able to implement it conforming to how subversion handles it.

In worst-case i would have to scan through the sources of svn if someone would point me to the file where this is implemented (but specs would be nicer of course...).

Thank you,
Dirk
