Well, it turns out that something like this could work in mod_authz_svn,
but not in libsvn_repos, becaus the authz callback in the editor doesn't
know what kind of operation we're doing the authz check for, and the
code that does know about the operation can't get at the options stored
in the parsed authz structure. Without drastically changing the authz
callback API. :(
