I agree I have read this:

But there is a bug anyway in this process, or at least a catch.
Though I don't know who is the culprit: SSPI / Apache, on TortoiseSVN
or on SVN itself server-side.

The exact logon name of the account must case-sensitively match the
logon name used in svnaccessfile.txt used to define the repositories
access rights. (Generally in Windows, passwords are case-sensitive,
but logon names are not.)

I had the issue that one of the workstations lost access after
upgrading to 1.4. The logon used is 'devprod' and for more than a
year, access rules where written as "Devprod" because that's the way
the user enters it at logon time in Windows. That was okay until now.
The instant the 1.4 client was installed (server 1.4 is not yet
installed, scheduled for tonight), the user was denied access. Just
changing the case of "Devprod" to "devprod" in the svnaccessfile.txt
fixed it.

Just to let you know,
